Book I   Proposition 22
Let the three given straight lines be A, B, C, and of these let two taken together in any manner be greater than the remaining one, namely
A, B greater than C,
A, C greater than B,
and
B, C greater than A;

thus it is required to construct a triangle out of straight lines equal to A, B, C.
