therefore
MK, KD are less than ML, LD; [I.21]
and
MK is equal to ML;
therefore
the remainder DK is less than the remainder DL.
Similarly we can prove that
DL is also less than DH.

And, since on MD, one of the sides of the triangle MLD, two straight lines MK, KD
were constructed meeting within the triangle, therefore MK, KD are less than ML, LD; [I.21] and MK is equal to ML; therefore the remainder DK is less than the remainder DL. Similarly we can prove that DL is also less than DH. |
