G.239 parallelograms applied segment

Of all the parallelograms applied to the same segment and deficient by parallelogrammic figures similar and similarly situated to that described on the half of the segment, that parallelogram is greatest which is applied to the half of the segment and is similar to the defect.

G.389 there unequal segments

If there be two unequal segments, and to the greater there be applied a parallelogram equal to the fourth part of the square on the less and deficient by a square figure, and if it divide it into parts which are commensurable in length, then the square on the greater is greater than the square on the less by the square on a segment commensurable with the greater. And, if the square on the greater be greater than the square on the less by the square on a segment commensurable with the greater, and if there be applied to the greater a parallelogram equal to the fourth part of the square on the less and deficient by a square figure, it will divide it into parts which are commensurable in length.

G.390 there unequal segments

If there be two unequal segments, and to the greater there be applied a parallelogram equal to the fourth part of the square on the less and deficient by a square figure, and if it divide it into parts which are incommensurable, the square on the greater is greater than the square on the less by the square on a segment incommensurable with the greater. And, if the square on the greater be greater than the square on the less by the square on a segment incommensurable with the greater, and if there be applied to the greater a parallelogram equal to the fourth part of the square on the less and deficient by a square figure, it divides it into parts which are incommensurable.
