Draw the median \*AD\*. Take the half \*ADC\* and place it after inversion in the position \*BGA\*. Then the rectangle \*AGBD\* is equal to the isosceles triangle \*ABC\*. Now transform the rectangle \*AGBD\* into a square by the method given before. - [Previous: c12.72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c12.72) - [Next: c12.74](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c12.74) - [Up: c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c12.73](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.datta-1932.c12.73) · Pramāṇa
