Book VI   Proposition 10
Again, since
    FD has been drawn parallel to GE, one of the sides of the triangle AGE,
therefore, proportionally,
    as ED is to DA,
    so is GF to FA. [VI.2]

But it was also proved that,
    as CE is to ED, so is BG to GF;
therefore,
    as CE is to ED, so is BG to GF,
and
    as ED is to DA, so is GF to FA.
