ther, are longer then the other side that remaineth. If you do remember the first and seconde conclusions, then is there no difficultie in this, for it is in maner the same woorke. First consider the .iij. lines that you must take, and set one of them for the ground line, then worke with the other .ij. lines as you did in the first and second conclusions. _Example._ [Illustration] I haue .iij. A.B. and C.D. and E.F. of whiche I put .C.D. for my ground line, then with my compas I take the length of .A.B. and set the one foote of my compas in C, and draw an arch line with the other foote. Likewaies I take the length of E.F, and set one foote in D, and with the other foote I make an arch line crosse the other arche, and the pricke of their metyng (whiche is G.) shall be the thirde corner of the triangle, for in all suche kyndes of woorkynge to make a tryangle, if you haue one line drawen, there remayneth nothyng els but to fynde where the pitche of the thirde corner shall bee, for two of them must needes be at the two eandes of the lyne that is drawen. THE XIII. CONCLVSION. If you haue a line appointed, and a pointe in it limited, howe you maye make on it a righte lined angle, equall to an other right lined angle, all ready assigned. Fyrste draw a line against the corner assigned, and so is it a triangle, then take heede to the line and the pointe in it assigned, and consider if that line from the pricke to this end bee as long as any of the sides that make the triangle assigned, and if it bee longe enoughe, then prick out there the length of one of the lines, and then woorke with the other two lines, accordinge to the laste conlusion, makynge a triangle of thre like lynes to that assigned triangle. If it bee not longe inoughe, thenn lengthen it fyrste, and afterwarde doo as I haue sayde beefore. [Illustration] _Example._ Lette the angle appoynted bee A.B.C, and the corner assigned, B. Farthermore let the lymited line bee D.G, and the pricke assigned D. Fyrste therefore by drawinge the line A.C, I make the triangle A.B.C. [Illustration] Then consideringe that D.G, is longer thanne A.B, you shall cut out a line from D. toward G, equal to A.B, as for example D.F. Then measure oute the other ij. lines and worke with them according as the conclusion with the fyrste also and the second teacheth yow, and then haue you done. THE XIIII. CONCLVSION.
