Transform the Paralellogram rectangle A B C D into Square. PRACTICAL. In the two sides A B B D form a straight line E F. then center in*. O half of it with the interval O F. of the sixth half referred to the femicircle E G F; pofeia in the conjunction S. of the above two sides rise one perpendicular to the circumference in G. and that-" will make one side of the Square require, as you see there in G P Q^S. II. Transform the Equilateral Triangle A B C into Paralellogram, and do- I can do it Square. PRACTICAL. Cut through the Triangle with the line A D. falling in D half. of the base B C , then transport half D B in A G, then from point G. to C. cafehi a perpendicular, and will form the Paralello- gram A G C D , which with the fopra fi transfor- merà in Quadrato . III. Transform the ABC Triangle into Quadrangle Rectangle. PRACTICAL. From point A pull a Paralella to bafe B C. of the given Triangle, and from the ephthalmosphere B C. two straight lines are raised, forming right angles in_> said ephthremity, and so you will have the Quadrangle rectangle double of the given Triangle: waves divide two sides by half to oppose them in O. P. e-" pulling the straight line O P , you will have the Quadrangle Rectangle equal to the propofto Triangle ; and for the first practice of that head fi fi merà in Quadrato . Part I. Chapter IV.
