Book I   Proposition 46
    Let AC be drawn at right angles to the straight line AB from the point A on it, [I.11]
and
    let AD be made equal to AB;
through the point D
    let DE be drawn parallel to AB,
and through the point B
    let BE be drawn parallel to AD. [I.31]

Therefore
    ADEB is a parallelogram.
