Proposition: Prop. 10.106: Straight Line Commensurable with that which produces Medial Whole with Rational Area

(Proposition 106 from Book 10 of Euclid's “Elements”)

A (straight line) commensurable (in length) with a (straight line) which with a rational (area) makes a medial whole is a (straight line) which with a rational (area) makes a medial whole.

• Let $AB$ be a (straight line) which with a rational (area) makes a medial whole, and (let) $CD$ (be) commensurable (in length) with $AB$.
• I say that $CD$ is also a (straight line) which with a rational (area) makes a medial (whole).
