PROBLEM XLII. 

 *To make a Figure similar to any other given Figure ABCDE. 



A draw diagonals 



From any angl 

 to the other angles. Take A^ a side 

 of the figure required. Then draw 

 h c parallel to B C, and c d to CD, 

 and de to D E, &c. 



Otherwise, 



)i B h 



Make the angles at a^h^e^ Sec. 

 Tespcctively equ il to the ailgles at 

 A, B, E, and the lines will intersect 

 in the angles of the figure re- 

 quired. 



PROBLEM XLIII. 

 2"o make a Triangle equal to a given Trapezium A BCD. 



Draw the diagonal DB, and 

 CE parallel to it, meeting AB 

 produced in E. Join D E •, 

 so shall the triangle ADE be 

 equal to the trapezium AB 

 CD.
