Now, the length of the rafters on one side is 10 feet, and on the other 14 feet: what is the breadth of the house? Ans. 17.204 ft. 4. What would be the width of the house, in the last example, if the rafters on each side were 10 feet? Ans. 14.142 ft. 5. What would be the width, if the rafters on each side were 14 feet? Ans. 19.7989 ft. 29. If the hypothenuse and one side of a right-angled triangle are known, how do you find the other side? Square the hypothenuse and also the other given side, and take their difference: extract the square root of this difference, and the result will be the required side. EXAMPLES. 1. In the right-angled triangle ABC, there are given AC--50 feet, and AB = 40 feet; required the side BC. We first square the hypothenuse and the other side, after which we take the difference, and then extract the square root, which gives BC = VOO = 30 feet. Operation. 50 = 2500 40 = 1600 Diff. = 900 2. The height of a precipice on the brink of a river is 103 feet, and a line of 320 feet in length will just reach from the top of it to the opposite bank: required the breadth of the river.

A ladder 60 feet in length, will reach to a window 40 feet from the ground on one side of the street, and by turning it over to the other side, it will reach a window 50 feet from the ground: required the breadth of the street. Ans. 77.8875ft. AREA OF THE SQUARE. 30. How do you find the area of a square, a rectangle, or a parallelogram? Multiply the base by the perpendicular height, and the product will be the area. n 1.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
