Given a semicircle AEB with diameter AB, and perpendiculars CE, DF, and having drawn the line EFG, and the perpendicular to it, BG, then three things come about, namely, the rectangle CB.BD is equal to the square of BG; and the rectangle AC.BD to the square of FG, and teh rectangle AD.CB to the square of EG.
Harriot's note about the diagram is difficult to read. In the diagram given by and are symmetrically placed about the centre so that is parallel to . Harriot's diagram is therefore more general. ]
