 the Length and Breadth, 354, 5, 6, 7, &c. 

 the Root of the QiJOtient will (hew the flior- 

 t^ft Side of fuch a Parallelogram, 



Example, 



Admit it were to be required of me, to lay 

 out 100 Acres in a Parallelogram, that 

 fhould be five times as long as broad : Firft, to 

 the IQO Acres I add 5 Cyphers, that makes 

 it loccocoo, which Sum I divide by 5, the 

 Quotient is 2000000, the Root of which is 

 near eft 14 Chains 14 Links 5 and that, I fay, 

 ffiall be the fhort Side of fuch a Parallelogram^ 

 and by multiplying that 1414 by 5, Ihews 

 me the longeft Side thereof to be 70 Chains 

 70 Links. 



Hotv to make a Trza?igle, that fiaH contain any 

 "Nuffiber of Acres ^ being confind to a certain 

 Bafe. 



Double the given Number of Acres (to which 

 annex, firft, 5 Cyphers) divide by the Bafe, 

 the (Quotient will be the Length of the Per- 

 pendicular* 



Example. 



Upon a Bafe (Fig. ii. of the next Plate) gi- 

 ven,, that is in Length 40 Chains no Links, 

 I am to make a Triangle that ftiall contain 

 1 00 Acres : Firft, I double the 100 Acres, 

 and annexing 5 Cyphers thereto, it makes
