Book VI   Proposition 16
And
    they are equiangular.
But
    in equal and equiangular parallelograms the sides about the equal angles are reciprocally proportional. [VI.14]
Therefore
    as AB is to CD,
    so is CH to AG.
But
    CH is equal to E
and
    AG to F;
Therefore
    as AB is to CD
    so is E to F.
