line FK is rationall. And the line or semidiameter BF is rationall. Wherefore the whole line BK is rationall. And forasmuch as the circumference ACG is equall to the circumference ADG, of which the circumference ABC is equall to the circumference AED, wherefore the residue CG is equall to the residue GD. Now if we drawe a right line from the point A to the point D, it is manifest that the angles ALC and ALD are right angles. For foras∣much as the circumference CG is equall to the circumference GD, therefore (by the last of the sixth) the angle CAG is equall to the angle DAG. And the line AC is equall to the line AD, for that the circumferences which they subtend are equall, and the line AL is c••mmon to them both, therefore there are two lines AC and AL equall to two lines AD and AL, and the angle CAL is equall to the angle DAL. Wherefore (by the 4. of the first) the base CL is equall to the base LD, and the rest of the angles to the rest of the angles, and the line CD is double to the line CL. And by the same reason may it be proued, that the an∣gles at the point M are right angles, and that the line AC is double to the line CM. Now for∣asmuch as the angle ALC is equall to the angle AMF, for that they are both right angles, and the angle LAC is common to both the triangles ALC and AMF: wherefore the an∣gle remayning, namely, ACL, is equal to the angle remayning AFM, by the corollary of the 32. of the first. Wherefore the triangle ACL is equiangle to the triangle AMF. Wherefore proportionally, by the 4. of the sixth, as the line LC is to the line CA, so is the line MF to the line FA. And in the same proportion also are the doubles of the antecedents LC and MF (by the 15. of the fifth). Wherefore as the double of the line LC is to the line CA, so is the double of the line MF to the line FA. But as the double of the line MF is to the line FA, so is the line MF to the halfe of the line FA, by the 15. of the fifth, wherefore as the double of the line LC is to the line CA, so is the line MF to the halfe of the line FA, by the 11. of the fifth. And in the same proportion, by the 15. of the fifth, are the halues of the consequents, namely, of CA and of the halue of the line AF. Wherefore as the double of the line LC is to the halfe of the line AC, so is the line MF to the fourth part of the line FA. But the double of the line LC is the line DC, and the halfe of the line CA is the line CM, as hath before bene proued, and the fourth part of the line FA is the line FK (for the line FK is the fourth part of the line FH by construction). Wherfore as the line DC is to the line CM, so is the line MF to the line FK. Wherfore by composition (by the 18. of the fifth) as both the lines DC and CM are to the line CM, so is the whole line MK to the line FK.
Wherefore also (by the 22. of the sixt) as the squares of the lines DC and CM are to the square of the line CM, so is the square of the line MK to the square of the line FK. And forasmuch as (by the 8. of the thirtenth) a line which is subten∣ded vnder two sides of a pentagon figure, as is the line AC, being diuided by an extreame & meane propor
••ion, the greater segment is equall to the side of the pentagon figure, that is, vnto the line DC: and (by the 1. of the thirtenth) the greater segment hauing added vnto it the halfe of the whole, is in power quintuple to the square made of the halfe of the whole: and the halfe of the whole line AC is the line CM. Wherefore the square that is made of the lines DC and CM, that is, of the greater segment and of the halfe of the whole, as of one line, is quintuple to the square of the line CM, that is, of the halfe of the whole. But as the square made of the lines DC and CM, as of one line, is to the square of the line CM, so is it proued, that the square of the line MK is to the square of the line FK. Wherefore the square of the line M∣K is quintuple to the square of the line FK. But the square of the line KF is rationall, as
