A.B. is the line proposed, of whiche I shall make a square quadrate, therefore firste I make a plũbe line vnto it, whiche shall lighte in A, and that plũb line is A.C, then open I my compasse as wide as the length of A.B, or A.C, (for they must be bothe equall) and I set the one foote of thend in C, and with the other I make an arche line nigh vnto D, afterward I set the compas again with one foote in B, and with the other foote I make an arche line crosse the first arche line in D, and from the prick of their crossyng I draw .ij. lines, one to B, and an other to C, and so haue I made the square quadrate that I entended. THE .XV. CONCLVSION. To make a likeiãme equall to a triangle appointed, and that in a right lined ãgle limited. First from one of the angles of the triangle, you shall drawe a gemowe line, whiche shall be a parallele to that syde of the triangle, on whiche you will make that likeiamme. Then on one end of the side of the triangle, whiche lieth against the gemowe lyne, you shall draw forth a line vnto the gemow line, so that one angle that commeth of those .ij. lines be like to the angle which is limited vnto you. Then shall you deuide into ij. equall partes that side of the triangle whiche beareth that line, and from the pricke of that deuision, you shall raise an other line parallele to that former line, and continewe it vnto the first gemowe line, and thẽ of those .ij. last gemowe lynes, and the first gemowe line, with the halfe side of the triangle, is made a lykeiamme equall to the triangle appointed, and hath an angle lyke to an angle limited, accordyng to the conclusion.
