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.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.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.414 segments incommensurable square

If two segments incommensurable in square which make the sum of the squares on them medial, but the rectangle contained by them rational, be added together, the whole segment is irrational; and let it be called the side of a rational plus a medial area.

G.415 segments incommensurable square

If two segments incommensurable in square which make the sum of the squares on them medial, and the rectangle contained by them medial and also incommensurable with the sum of the squares on them, be added together, the whole segment is irrational; and let it be called the side of the sum of two medial areas.

G.455 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 rational rectangle, the remainder is irrational. And let it be called a first apotome of a medial segment.

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.458 segment there subtracted

If from a segment there be subtracted a segment which is incommensurable in square with the whole and which with the whole makes the squares on them added together rational, but the rectangle contained by them medial, the remainder is irrational; and let it be called minor.

G.459 segment there subtracted

If from a segment there be subtracted a segment which is incommensurable in square with the whole, and which with the whole makes the sum of the squares on them medial, but twice the rectangle contained by them rational, the remainder is irrational: and let it be called that which produces with a rational area a medial whole.

G.460 segment there subtracted

If from a segment there be subtracted a segment which is incommensurable in square with the whole and which with the whole makes the sum of the squares on them medial, twice the rectangle contained by them medial, and further the squares on them incommensurable with twice the rectangle contained by them, the remainder is irrational; and let it be called that which produces with a medial area a medial whole.

G.465 segment produces rational

To a segment which produces with a rational area a medial whole only one segment can be annexed which is incommensurable in square with the whole segment and which with the whole segment makes the sum of the squares on them medial, but twice the rectangle contained by them rational.
