"> To deduct a square from a square, cut off from the larger a (rectangular) segment with a side of the square which is to be deducted. Then draw a longer side of this segment diagonally across to the other longer side; and where it falls (on the other side), cut off that portion. By this cut-off portion the deduction is finished."
