Book VI   Proposition 27
Therefore,
    GA has the same ratio to each of the straight lines AK, AE.

Therefore
    AE is equal to AK [V.9],
    the less to the greater: which is impossible.

Therefore
    ABCD cannot but be about the same diameter with AF;
Therefore
    the parallelogram ABCD is about the same diameter with the parallelogram AF.
