Why didn't Euclid ever prove that rect.BCEC = rect. ACDC?

>>	Anonymous Sun May 6 02:05:51 2018 No.9721645 >>9721643 Yeah but III. 36 isn't pic related, it deals with ONE of the lines in pic related instead of two. And III. 35 has to happen within the circle.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 6 17:57:51 2018 No.9723267 >>9721484 this is obviously not true, because rect BCEC could be near zero, and rect ACDC could be fairly big untrue statements are difficult to prove, so thats why euclid didn't prove it

>>	Anonymous Sun May 6 19:06:29 2018 No.9723357 >>9723267 Not true. If CE is near zero then C is close to the circle and therefore so is CD
