Further more it may be y^t they haue neuer a one syde equall to an other, and they be in iij kyndes also distinct lyke the twilekes, as you maye perceaue by these examples .M. N, and O. where M. hath a right angle, N, a blunte angle, and O, all sharpe angles [Sidenote: σκαλενὄμ.] these the Greekes and latine men do cal _scalena_ and in englishe theye may be called _nouelekes_, for thei haue no side equall, or like lõg, to ani other in the same figur. Here it is to be noted, that in a triãgle al the angles bee called _innerãgles_ except ani side bee drawenne forth in lengthe, for then is that fourthe corner caled an _vtter corner_, as in this exãple because A.B, is drawen in length, therfore the ãgle C, is called an vtter ãgle. [Illustration: M] [Illustration: N] [Illustration: O] [Illustration] [Illustration: Q] [Sidenote: Quadrãgle] And thus haue I done with triãguled figures, and nowe foloweth _quadrangles_, which are figures of iiij. corners and of iiij. lines also, of whiche there be diuers kindes, but chiefely v. that is to say, [Sidenote: A square quadrate.] a _square quadrate_, whose sides bee all equall, and al the angles square, as you se here in this figure Q. [Sidenote: A longe square.] The second kind is called a long square, whose foure corners be all square, but the sides are not equall eche to other, yet is euery side equall to that other that is against it, as you maye perceaue in this figure. R. [Illustration: R] [Sidenote: A losenge] The thyrd kind is called _losenges_ [Sidenote: A diamõd.] or _diamondes_, whose sides bee all equall, but it hath neuer a square corner, for two of them be sharpe, and the other two be blunt, as appeareth in .S. [Illustration: S] The iiij. sorte are like vnto losenges, saue that they are longer one waye, and their sides be not equal, yet ther corners are like the corners of a losing, and therfore ar they named [Sidenote: A losenge lyke.] _losengelike_ or _diamõdlike_, whose figur is noted with T. Here shal you marke that al those squares which haue their sides al equal, may be called also for easy vnderstandinge, _likesides_, as Q. and S. and those that haue only the contrary sydes equal, as R. and T. haue, those wyll I call _likeiammys_, for a difference.
