Book I   Proposition 22
For, since the point F is the center of the circle DKD,
    FK is equal to FD.
But A is equal to FD;
    therefore FK is equal to A.

Again, since the point G is the center of the circle HKH,
    GK is equal to GH.
But C is equal to GH;
    therefore GK is equal to C.

And
    FG is also equal to B;
therefore
    the three straingt lines KF, FG, GK are equal to the three straight lines A, B, C.
