Book II   Proposition 14
But
    the rectangle BE, EF is BD,
for
    EF is equal to ED;
therefore
    the parallelogram BD is equal to the square on HE.

And
    BD is equal to the rectilineal figure A.
Therefore
    the rectilineal figure A is also equal to the square which can be described on EH.
