Book III   Proposition 7
Let ABCD be a circle and let AD be a diameter of it;
on AD
    let a point F be taken which is not the center of the circle, let E be the center of the circle,
and from F
    let straight lines FB, FC, FG fall upon the circle ABCD;

I say that FA is greatest, FD is least, and of the rest FB is greater than FC and FC than FG.
