Book II   Proposition 10
But
    the squares on AD, DG are equal to the square on AG; [I.47] therefore
    the squares on AD, DG are double of the squares on AC, CD.

And
    DG 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.
