...that the rectangle of the means is equal to the rectangle of the extremes ; or as in arithmetic, that the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes. Hence, the action of the second and third being equal to the action of the first and fourth,... | |

...dividing the antecedent by the consequent is called the ratio. If four quantities are proportional, the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes; in the proportion a : 6 ; ; c : d, a and d are the extremes, b and c the means. Wherefore,... | |
