59. Αἱ ΓΒ, ΒΖ ἄνισοι p. 68, δύο γὰρ τρίγωνά εἰσι τὰ ΒΓΑ, ΒΖ Α ὀρθὴν ἔχοντα γωνίαν τὸ μὲν τὴν πρὸς τῷ Γ, τὸ δὲ τὴν πρὸς τῷ Ζ, καί ἐστι λοιπὸν τὸ ἀπὸ τῆς ΒΑ ἴσον ἀνὰ μέρος τῷ ἀπὸ τῶν ΒΓ, ΓΑ καὶ τοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν ΒΖ, ΖΑ. ἀλλʼ ἡ ΓΑ μείζων ἐδείχθη τῆς ΖΑ. ὥστε, ὅπερ ἐλλείπει τὴν ΖΑ, ἔξει τοῦτο ἡ ΒΖ καὶ ἔσται μείζων τῆς ΒΓ.
