[Commentary:
This page contains an analysis of Proposition 1 from Book XIII of Euclid's Elements:
If a straight line is cut in extreme and mean ratio, then the square on the greater segment added to the half of the whole is five times the square on the half.
The left hand column gives the 'analysis' or 'resolution' of the problem, beginning from the final statement and working backwards to discover what conditions must hold.
The right hand column gives the 'synthesis' or 'composition', beginning from the given conditions and working forward to the proof of the proposition.]
