Book IV   Proposition 11
    Let the isosceles triangle FGH be set out having each of the angles at G, H double of the angle at F; [IV.10]

    let there be inscribed in the circle ABCDE the triangle ACD equiangular with the triangle FGH, so that the angle CAD is equal to the angle at F and the angles at G, H respectively equal to the angles ACD, CDA; [IV.2]
    therefore each of the angles ACD, CDA is also double of the angle CAD.

Now
    let the angles ACD, CDA be bisected respectively by the straight lines CE, DB, [I.9]
and
    let AB, BC, DE, EA be joined.
