...their numerators are equal, therefore AD=BC; A and D being the extremes, and B and c the means. 12. If the product of two quantities be equal to the product of two others, the four quantities may be turned into a proportion, by making the terms of one product... | |

...and, therefore, x = Vac. » 110. The converse of each of the preceding theorems is also true, that is, If the product of two quantities be equal to the product of two others, or if the product of two be equal to the square of one, then the FOUR, or the THREE quantities... | |

...greater than C, thenB is greater than D,if A=C,thenB=D,andif A be less than C, then B is less than D. 33. If the product of two quantities be equal to the product of two other quantities, these four quantities may be turned into a proportion by making the terms of... | |

...b ; ' c ; d, then will ad = be. Also, if a ; 6 ; rb ; c, then will ac = 62. Whence it follows, that if the product of two quantities be equal to the product of two other quantities, the four quantities will be proportionals, thus, ad=bc, and this is turned into... | |
