Proposition: Prop. 10.065: Square on Side of Sum of two Medial Area applied to Rational Straight Line

(Proposition 65 from Book 10 of Euclid's “Elements”)

The square on the square root of (the sum of) two medial (areas) applied to a rational (straight line) produces as breadth a sixth binomial (straight line).¹

• Let $AB$ be the square root of (the sum of) two medial (areas), having been divided at $C$.
• And let $DE$ be a rational (straight line).
• And let the (parallelogram) $DF$, equal to the (square) on $AB$, have been applied to $DE$, producing $DG$ as breadth.
• I say that $DG$ is a sixth binomial (straight line).
