G.381 squares segments commensurable

The squares on segments commensurable in length have to one another the ratio which a square number has to a square number; and squares which have to one another the ratio which a square number has to a square number will also have their sides commensurable in length. But the squares on segments incommensurable in length have not to one another the ratio which a square number has to a square number; and squares which have not to one another the ratio which a square number has to a square number will not have their sides commensurable in length either.

G.457 medial segment there

If from a medial segment there be subtracted a medial segment which is commensurable with the whole in square only, and which contains with the whole a medial rectangle, the remainder is irrational; and let it be called a second apotome of a medial segment.

G.498 square rational segment

The square on a rational segment applied to the binomial segment produces as breadth an apotome the terms of which are commensurable with the terms of the binomial and moreover in the same ratio; and further the apotome so arising will have the same order as the binomial segment.

G.499 square rational segment

The square on a rational segment, if applied to an apotome, produces as breadth the binomial segment the terms of which are commensurable with the terms of the apotome and in the same ratio; and further the binomial so arising has the same order as the apotome.

G.589 circle diameter rational

If in a circle which has its diameter rational an equilateral pentagon be inscribed, the side of the pentagon is the irrational segment called minor.
