Book II   Proposition 14
But
    the squares on HE, EG are equal to the square on GH; [I.47]
therefore
    the rectangle BE, EF together with the square on EG
is equal to
    the squares on HE, EG.

    Let the square on EG be subtracted from each;
therefore
    the rectangle contained by BE, EF which remains is equal to the square on EH.
