Book II   Proposition 9
But
    the squares on AD, DF are equal to the square on AF, for the angle at D is right; [I.47] therefore
    the squares on AD, DF are double of the squares on AC, CD.

And
    DF is equal to DB;
therefore
    the squares on AD, DB are double of the squares on AC, CD.

Being what it was required to prove.
