side of it is 73 cliains long ; what is the length of one of the

a distance of 1 mile ; what is the radius of the wheel ? If a carriage 
wheel has fourteen spokes, how many degrees, minutes, &c., would 
there be in the angle between two consecutive spokes, if the spokes 
are treated as lines ? 
4. The length and breadth of a house at the 
eaves are 45 ft. and 32 ft. respectively ; the 
annual rainfall in the neighbourhood of the house 
is 28 in. ; a rectangular reservoir has to be made 
to hold a quarter of the rain that falls yearly on 
the house ; if its length and breadth are 20 ft. 
and 8 ft., what must its depth be ? 
5. A B C D is a four-sided field ; the distance 
from A to C is 10 chains ; the field book gives 
the numbers entered in the margin of the ques- 
tion ; plot the field to a scale of 2 chains to the

6. A plan is given you without a scale, but 
you know that two points shown on it are 2250 
yards apart ; the measured distance between them 
on the plan is 21 in. ; draw a plain scale of 
1000 ft. for the plan and divide it in such a way 
that all distances (being multiples of 10 ft.) uj) 
to 1000 ft. can be measured by means of it.
