the squares on FB, BD are equal to the square on FD; [I.47]
therefore
the rectangle AD, DC together with the square on FB is equal to the squares on FB, BD.
Let
the square on FB be subtracted from each;
therefore
the rectangle AD, DC which remains is equal to the square on the tangent DB.
Being what it was required to prove.
