Math Problem Statement

To a given straight line to apply a parallelogram equal to a given rectilinear figure and deficient by a parallelogram similar to a given one. Just consider the case where the parallelograms are all rectangles. Begin with the assumption that such a rectangle has been constructed and derive the condition that “the given rectilinear figure must not be greater than the rectangle described on the half of the straight line and similar to the defect.”
