Fyrst, according to the last conclusion, I make the likeiamme E.F.C.G, equal to the triangle D, in the appoynted angle whiche is E. Then take I the lengthe of the assigned line (which is A.B,) and with my compas I sette forthe the same lẽgth in the ij. gemow lines N.F. and H.G, setting one foot in E, and the other in N, and againe settyng one foote in C, and the other in H. Afterward I draw a line from N. to H, whiche is a gemow lyne, to ij. sydes of the likeiamme. thenne drawe I a line also from N. vnto C. and extend it vntyll it crosse the lines, E.L. and F.G, which both must be drawen forth longer then the sides of the likeiamme. and where that lyne doeth crosse F.G, there I sette M. Nowe to make an ende, I make an other gemowe line, whiche is parallel to N.F. and H.G, and that gemowe line doth passe by the pricke M, and then haue I done. Now say I that H.C.K.L, is a likeiamme equall to the triangle appointed, whiche was D, and is made of a line assigned that is A.B, for H.C, is equall vnto A.B, and so is K.L. The profe of y^e equalnes of this likeiam vnto the triãgle, depẽdeth of the thirty and two Theoreme: as in the boke of Theoremes doth appear, where it is declared, that in al likeiammes, whẽ there are more then one made about one bias line, the filsquares of euery of them muste needes be equall. THE XVII. CONCLVSION. To make a likeiamme equal to any right lined figure, and that on an angle appointed. The readiest waye to worke this conclusion, is to tourn that rightlined figure into triangles, and then for euery triangle together an equal likeiamme, according vnto the eleuen cõclusion, and then to ioine al those likeiammes into one, if their sides happen to be equal, which thing is euer certain, when al the triangles happẽ iustly betwene one pair of gemow lines. but and if they will not frame so, then after that you haue for the firste triangle made his likeiamme, you shall take the lẽgth of one of his sides, and set that as a line assigned, on whiche you shal make the other likeiams, according to the twelft cõclusion, and so shall you haue al your likeiammes with ij. sides equal, and ij. like angles, so y^t you mai easily ioyne thẽ into one figure.
