This product will give the number of superficial units in the surface ; because , for one unit in height , there are as many superficial units as there are linear units in the base ; for two units in height twice as many ; for three ...

... the difference , AC - AB must be equal to the difference AE - AF , which gives BC = EF ; but IG is equal to BC , and DG to EF , since the lines are parallel ; therefore IGDH is equal to a square described on BC .

Adding AD to each , and observing that the right angled triangles ABD , ADC , give AD + BD2 = AB2 , and AD2 + CD2 = AC2 , we have AB2 = BC2 + AC2-2BC × CD . Secondly . When the perpendicular AD falls without the triangle ABC , we have ...

consequently the triangle ABC gives AB2 + BC2-2AE2 + 2BE2 . The triangle ADC gives , in like manner . AD2 + DC2-2AE2 + 2DE2 . E 1 Adding the corresponding members together , and observing that BE and DE are equal , we shall have AB2 + ...

And by reason of the common ratio OE : OF , those two proportions give AE CF B :: EG : FH . It may be proved in the same manner , that EG : FH :: GB : HD , and so on : hence the lines AB , CD , are cut proportionally by the para is AC ...
