6.  A B is  750  feet  long;  P is  a point 
such  that  P A B equals  25°  18'  and  P B A 
equals  108°  31' ; find,  both  by  a construc- 
tion drawn  to  scale  and  by  calculation, 
the  distance  A P and  the  parts  into  which 
the  angle  A B P is  divided  by  a straight 
line  joining  B and  the  middle  point  of 
AP. 
7.  A map  is  drawn  to  the  scale  of 
5 inches  to  the  mile,  what  is  its  repre-

a scale  by  which  to  read  all  distances 
from  25  yards  to  1000  yards. 
If  three  points  A,  B,  C are  taken  on 
such  a map,  and  if  A B,  B C and  C A are 
respectively  2-73,  3-27,  and  POO  inches 
long ; how  many  acres  are  there  in  the 
triangle  ABC? 
8.  A,  B,  C,  D are  stakes  at  the  corner 
of  a four-sided  field ; the  diagonal  A C 
is  1320  links  long;  draw  a plan  of  the 
field  and  find  its  area  from  the  accom- 
panying notes.
