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." - [Previous: c11.62](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c11.62) - [Next: c11.64](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c11.64) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c11.63](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c11.63) · Pramāṇa
