G.174 ex aequali (equality of ratios)

A:term:ratio <G.173>ex aequali arises when, there being several magnitudes and another set equal to them in multitude which taken two and two are in the same proportion, as the first is to the last among the first magnitudes, so is the first to the last among the second magnitudes; Or, in other words, it means taking the extreme terms by virtue of the removal of the intermediate terms.

G.203 perturbed proportion

A:term:**perturbed proportion** <perturbed-proportion> arises when, there being three magnitudes and another set equal to them in multitude, as:term:antecedent <G.181> is to consequent among the first magnitudes, so is antecedent to consequent among the second magnitudes, while, as the consequent is to a third among the first magnitudes, so is a third to the antecedent among the second magnitudes.

G.204 there magnitudes others

If there be three magnitudes, and others equal to them in multitude, which taken two and two together are in the same ratio, and the proportion of them be perturbed, then, if ex aequali the first magnitude is greater than the third, the fourth is greater than the sixth; if equal, equal; and if less, less.

G.216 triangles angle equal

If two triangles have one angle equal to one angle, the sides about other angles proportional, and the remaining angles either both less or both not less than a right angle, the triangles is equiangular and will have those angles equal, the sides about which are proportional.

G.226 equal triangles angle

In equal triangles which have one angle equal to one angle the sides about the equal angles are reciprocally proportional; and those triangles which have one angle equal to one angle, and in which the sides about the equal angles are reciprocally proportional, are equal.

G.227 segments proportional rectangle

If four segments be proportional, the rectangle contained by the extremes is equal to the rectangle contained by the means; and, if the rectangle contained by the extremes equals the rectangle contained by the means, the four segments is proportional.

G.234 segments proportional polygons

If four segments be proportional, the polygons similar and similarly described upon them is proportional; and, if the polygons similar and similarly described upon them be proportional, the segments will themselves also be proportional.

G.305 numbers there fall

If between two numbers there fall numbers in continued proportion with them, then, however many numbers fall between them in continued proportion, so many will also fall in continued proportion between the numbers which have the same ratio with the original numbers.

G.339 many numbers please

If as many numbers as we please beginning from an unit be in continued proportion, and the number after the unit be not square, neither will any other be square except the third from the unit and all those which leave out one. And, if the number after the unit be not cube, neither will any other be cube except the fourth from the unit and all those which leave out two.

G.370 many numbers please

If as many numbers as we please beginning from an unit be set out continuously in double proportion, until the sum of all becomes prime, and if the sum multiplied into the last make some number, the product is perfect.

G.386 segments proportional square

If four segments be proportional, and the square on the first be greater than the square on the second by the square on a segment commensurable with the first, the square on the third is greater than the square on the fourth by the square on a segment commensurable with the third. And, if the square on the first be greater than the square on the second by the square on a segment incommensurable with the first, the square on the third is greater than the square on the fourth by the square on a segment incommensurable with the third.

G.547 segments proportional parallelepipedal

If four segments be proportional, the parallelepipedal solids on them which are similar and similarly described is proportional; and, if the parallelepipedal solids on them which are similar and similarly described be proportional, the segments will themselves also be proportional.
