Proposition: Prop. 13.06: Segments of Rational Straight Line cut in Extreme and Mean Ratio are Apotome
(Proposition 6 from Book 13 of Euclid's “Elements”)
If a rational straight line is cut in extreme and mean ratio then each of the pieces is that irrational (straight line) called an apotome.
* Let $AB$ be a rational straight line cut in extreme and mean ratio at $C$, and let $AC$ be the greater piece.
* I say that $AC$ and $CB$ is each that irrational (straight line) called an apotome.
