it do make a blunt corner. [Illustration: D] Also some triangles haue all righte lynes and they be distincted in sonder by their angles, or corners. for other their corners bee all sharpe, as you see in the figure, E. other ij. sharpe and one blunt, as is the figure G. other ij. sharp and one blunt as in the figure H. [Illustration: E] [Illustration: F] There is also an other distinction of the names of triangles, according to their sides, whiche other be all equal as in the figure E, and that the Greekes doo call _Isopleuron_, [Sidenote: #isopleurom#.] and Latine men _aeequilaterum_: and in english it may be called a _threlike triangle_, other els two sydes bee equall and the thyrd vnequall, which the Greekes call _Isosceles_, [Sidenote: #isoskeles#.] the Latine men _aequicurio_, and in english _tweyleke_ may they be called, as in G, H, and K. For, they may be of iij. kinds that is to say, with one square angle, as is G, or with a blunte corner as H, or with all in sharpe korners, as you see in K. [Illustration: G] [Illustration: H] [Illustration: K] Further more it may be y^t they haue neuer a one syde equall to an other, and they be in iij kyndes also distinct lyke the twilekes, as you maye perceaue by these examples .M. N, and O. where M. hath a right angle, N, a blunte angle, and O, all sharpe angles [Sidenote: #skalenom#.] these the Greekes and latine men do cal _scalena_ and in englishe theye may be called _nouelekes_, for thei haue no side equall, or like long, to ani other in the same figur. Here it is to be noted, that in a triangle al the angles bee called _innerangles_ except ani side bee drawenne forth in lengthe, for then is that fourthe corner caled an _vtter corner_, as in this example because A.B, is drawen in length, therfore the angle C, is called an vtter angle. [Illustration: M] [Illustration: N] [Illustration: O] [Illustration] [Illustration: Q] [Sidenote: Quadrangle] And thus haue I done with trianguled figures, and nowe foloweth _quadrangles_, which are figures of iiij. corners and of iiij. lines also, of whiche there be diuers kindes, but chiefely v. that is to say, [Sidenote: A square quadrate.] a _square quadrate_, whose sides bee all equall, and al the angles square, as you se here in this figure Q. [Sidenote: A longe square.] The second kind is called a long square, whose foure corners be all square, but the sides are not equall
