Join \*AF\* and produce it to meet \*DC\* produced at \*P\*. Complete the rectangle \*ADPH\*. Produce \*EF\* to meet \*HP\* at \*G\*. Then \*AHGE\* is the rectangle which is equivalent to the square \*ABCD\* and which has a side \*AE\* equal to the given length \*M\*. The proof is similar to that given before. - [Previous: c12.49](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c12.49) - [Next: c12.51](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c12.51) - [Up: c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c12.50](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c12.50) · Pramāṇa
