Could anyone please provide the shloka number of the following line from Baudhāyana Śhulba Sūtra?

दीर्घस्याक्षणया रज्जुः पार्श्वमानी तिर्यग्मानी च यत्पृथग्भूते कुरुतस्तदुभयं करोति।

The rope stretched along the length of the diagonal produces an area which the vertical and horizontal sides make together.

Regards,

The sūtra is mentioned in the first prakaraṇa named Agnicayāḥ itself. Also, this is the correct one -
> dīrghacaturaśrasyākṣṇayārajjuḥ pārśvamāni tiryaṅmānī ca yatpṛthagbhūte kurutastadubhayaṁ karoti

The pdf of Baudhāyana śulba sūtra is available here https://hinduonline.co/Scriptures/Sutra/BaudhayanaShulbaSutra.html

And the same sūtra is mentioned verbatim in Hiraṇyakeśi śulbasūtra as well.
