Euclid:Proposition/VI/22

Proposition

In the words of Euclid:

If four straight lines be proportional, the rectilineal figures similar and similarly described upon them will also be proportional; and if the rectilineal figures similar and similarly described upon them be proportional, the straight lines will themselves be proportional.
