Proposition 10.91

If an area be contained by a rational straight line and a first apotome, the side of the area is an apotome.

Proposition 10.92

If an area be contained by a rational straight line and a second apotome, the side of the area is a first apotome of a medial straight line.

Proposition 10.93

If an area be contained by a rational straight line and a third apotome, the side of the area is a second apotome of a medial straight line.

Proposition 10.94

If an area be contained by a rational straight line and a fourth apotome, the side of the area is minor.

Proposition 10.95

If an area be contained by a rational straight line and a fifth apotome, the side of the area is a straight line which produces with a rational area a medial whole.

Proposition 10.96

If an area be contained by a rational straight line and a sixth apotome, the side of the area is a straight line which produces with a medial area a medial whole.

Proposition 10.97

The square on an apotome applied to a rational straight line produces as breadth a first apotome.

Proposition 10.98

The square on a first apotome of a medial straight line applied to a rational straight line produces as breadth a second apotome.

Proposition 10.99

The square on a second apotome of a medial straight line applied to a rational straight line produces as breadth a third apotome.

Proposition 10.100

The square on a minor straight line applied to a rational straight line produces as breadth a fourth apotome.

Proposition 10.101

The square on the straight line which produces with a rational area a medial whole, if applied to a rational straight line, produces as breadth a fifth apotome.

Proposition 10.102

The square on the straight line which produces with a medial area a medial whole, if applied to a rational straight line, produces as breadth a sixth apotome.

Proposition 10.103

A straight line commensurable in length with an apotome is an apotome and the same in order.

Proposition 10.104

A straight line commensurable with an apotome of a medial straight line is an apotome of a medial straight line and the same in order.

Proposition 10.106

A straight line commensurable with that which produces with a rational area a medial whole is a straight line which produces with a rational area a medial whole.

Proposition 10.107

A straight line commensurable with that which produces with a medial area a medial whole is itself also a straight line which produces with a medial area a medial whole.

Proposition 10.108

If from a rational area a medial area be subtracted, the side of the remaining area becomes one of two irrational straight lines, either an apotome or a minor straight line.

Proposition 10.109

If from a medial area a rational area be subtracted, there arise two other irrational straight lines, either a first apotome of a medial straight line or a straight line which produces with a rational area a medial whole.

Proposition 10.110

If from a medial area there be subtracted a medial area incommensurable with the whole, the two remaining irrational straight lines arise, either a second apotome of a medial straight line or a straight line which produces with a medial area a medial whole.

Proposition 10.112

The square on a rational straight line applied to the binomial straight line produces as breadth an apotome the terms of which are commensurable with the terms of the binomial and moreover in the same ratio; and further the apotome so arising will have the same order as the binomial straight line.

Proposition 10.113

The square on a rational straight line, if applied to an apotome, produces as, breadth the binomial straight line the terms of which are commensurable with the terms of the apotome and in the same ratio; and further the binomial so arising has the same order as the apotome.

Proposition 10.114

If an area be contained by an apotome and the binomial straight line the terms of which are commensurable with the terms of the apotome and in the same ratio, the side of the area is rational.

Proposition 10.115

From a medial straight line there arise irrational straight lines infinite in number, and none of them is the same as any of the preceding.
