[Commentary:
The reference towards the end of this page is to Giambattista Diversarum speculationum mathematicarum et physicarum liber (Benedetti 1585, , though the theorem on page 26 is actually Theorem 41, not Theorem 45.
There is also a reference to Proposition 13 from Effectionum geometricarum canonica recensio (Viète 1593b, Prop , which explains how to find two quantities from their geometric mean and their sum.

[Translation: Or by ]

Sit kn 1r. tum nb erit 20,000-1r. hoc multiplicatum per 1r faciet 20,000r-1q.
quod æquale erit rectangulo on et nm, hoc est 78,545,532.
Forma æquationis ita erit 20,000r-1q=78,545,532.
Et duplis erit responsum,
[Translation: Let kn=1r. then nb will be 20,000-1r. This multiplied by 1r makes 20,000r-1q.
which is equal to the rectangle of on and nm, that is 78,545,532.
Thus the form of the equation will be 20,000r-1q=78,545,532.
And it will be twice the answer, ]

Habetur kn alias per 13 prop. Geom. Effect.

[Translation: kn can be had otherwise by Proposition 13 of Viète, Effectionum geometricarum.
