Proposition
In the words of Euclid:
- And it is manifest from what has been proven that straight lines commensurable in length are always commensurable in square also, but those commensurable in square are not always commensurable in length also.
(The Elements: Book $\text{X}$: Proposition $9$ : Porism)
