12, 20, and 28, the sum of the extremes is double the middle<br />

term; for 12+28=40. Thus also 20+36=56 equal twice 25.<br />

But where there are two media, the sum of the extremes will<br />

be equal to the sum of the means. Thus 12+36=48=20+28.<br />

Thus also 24+72=%=40+56; and so of the other parts of<br />

the breadth. This however takes place according to the form<br />

of the evenly-odd number, in which, as we have before observed,<br />

this property is found. Again, i£ we direct our attention<br />

to the length, where two terms have one medium, the<br />

product of the extremes is equal to the square of the medium<br />

or middle term ; for 12 )< 48=576=24 )< 24. Again, 24 X 96=<br />

2304=48)
