Book VI   Proposition 30
Let
    KH correspond to FL and KG to FE.
Now, since
    GH is greater than FB,
therefore
    KH is also greater than FL and KG than FE.

Let
    FL, FE be produced,
    let FLM be equal to KH, and FEN to KG,
and
    let MN be completed;
therefore
    MN is both equal and similar to GH.
