G.81 contained rectangle

Any rectangular parallelogram is said to be:term:**contained** <contained-rectangle> by the two:term:segments <G.4> containing the:term:right angle <G.33>.

G.82 distributive law of rectangles

If one of two segments is cut into any number of parts, the rectangle contained by the two segments equals the sum of the rectangles contained by the uncut segment and each of the parts.

G.83 square equals sum of rectangles on parts

If a segment is cut at random, the sum of the rectangles contained by the whole and each of the parts equals the square on the whole.

G.84 rectangle on whole and part

If a segment is cut at random, the rectangle contained by the whole and one of the parts equals the rectangle contained by the parts together with the square on that part.

G.85 square of a sum

If a segment is cut at random, the square on the whole equals the squares on the parts together with twice the rectangle contained by the parts.

G.86 gnomon

And in any parallelogrammic area let any one whatever of the parallelograms about its:term:diameter <G.61> with the two complements be called a:term:**gnomon** <gnomon>.

G.87 rectangle on unequal parts plus square on difference

If a segment is cut into equal and unequal parts, the rectangle contained by the unequal parts together with the square on the segment between the points of section equals the square on the half.

G.88 rectangle on bisected and extended segment

If a segment is bisected and a segment is added to it in a line, the rectangle contained by the whole with the added segment and the added segment together with the square on the half equals the square on the segment made up of the half and the added segment.

G.89 square of a difference

If a segment is cut at random, the sum of the squares on the whole and on one of the parts equals twice the rectangle contained by the whole and that part together with the square on the remaining part.

G.90 four rectangles plus square on difference

If a segment is cut at random, four times the rectangle contained by the whole and one of the parts together with the square on the remaining part equals the square on the whole and the first part as one segment.

G.91 sum of squares on unequal parts

If a segment is cut into equal and unequal parts, the sum of the squares on the unequal parts is double the sum of the square on the half and the square on the segment between the points of section.

G.92 sum of squares on bisected and extended segment

If a segment is bisected and a segment is added to it in a line, the sum of the squares on the whole with the added segment and on the added segment is double the sum of the square on the half and the square on the half with the added segment.

G.93 cut a segment in extreme and mean ratio

Cut a given segment so that the rectangle contained by the whole and one of the segments equals the square on the remaining segment.

G.94 law of cosines for obtuse triangles

In obtuse-angled triangles, the square on the side subtending the obtuse angle is greater than the sum of the squares on the sides containing the obtuse angle by twice the rectangle contained by one of those sides and the projection of the other upon it.

G.95 law of cosines for acute triangles

In acute-angled triangles, the square on the side subtending an acute angle is less than the sum of the squares on the sides containing the acute angle by twice the rectangle contained by one of those sides and the projection of the other upon it.

G.97 construct a square equal to a polygon

Construct a square equal in area to a given rectilineal figure.
