I haue .iij. A.B. and C.D. and E.F. of whiche I put .C.D. for my ground line, then with my compas I take the length of .A.B. and set the one foote of my compas in C, and draw an arch line with the other foote. Likewaies I take the lẽgth of E.F, and set one foote in D, and with the other foote I make an arch line crosse the other arche, and the pricke of their metyng (whiche is G.) shall be the thirde corner of the triangle, for in all suche kyndes of woorkynge to make a tryangle, if you haue one line drawen, there remayneth nothyng els but to fynde where the pitche of the thirde corner shall bee, for two of them must needes be at the two eandes of the lyne that is drawen. THE XIII. CONCLVSION. If you haue a line appointed, and a pointe in it limited, howe you maye make on it a righte lined angle, equall to an other right lined angle, all ready assigned. Fyrste draw a line against the corner assigned, and so is it a triangle, then take heede to the line and the pointe in it assigned, and consider if that line from the pricke to this end bee as long as any of the sides that make the triangle assigned, and if it bee longe enoughe, then prick out there the length of one of the lines, and then woorke with the other two lines, accordinge to the laste conlusion, makynge a triangle of thre like lynes to that assigned triangle. If it bee not longe inoughe, thenn lengthen it fyrste, and afterwarde doo as I haue sayde beefore. [Illustration] _Example._ Lette the angle appoynted bee A.B.C, and the corner assigned, B. Farthermore let the lymited line bee D.G, and the pricke assigned D. Fyrste therefore by drawinge the line A.C, I make the triangle A.B.C. [Illustration] Then consideringe that D.G, is longer thanne A.B, you shall cut out a line frõ D. toward G, equal to A.B, as for exãple D.F. Thẽ measure oute the other ij. lines and worke with thẽ according as the conclusion with the fyrste also and the second teacheth yow, and then haue you done. THE XIIII. CONCLVSION. To make a square quadrate of any righte lyne appoincted. First make a plumbe line vnto your line appointed, whiche shall light at one of the endes of it, accordyng to the fifth conclusion, and let it be of like length as your first line is, then opẽ your compasse to the iuste length of one of them, and sette one foote of the compasse in the ende of the one line, and with the other foote draw an arche line, there as you thinke that the fowerth corner shall be, after that set the one foote of the same compasse vnsturred, in the eande of the other line, and drawe an other arche line crosse the first archeline, and the poincte that they do crosse in, is the pricke of the fourth corner of the square quadrate which you seke for, therfore draw a line from that pricke to the eande of eche line, and you shall therby haue made a square quadrate. _Example._ [Illustration]
