A47183 A supplement to a late treatise, called An essay for the discovery of some new geometrical problems concerning angular sections, resolving what was there problematically proposed; and with some rectification made in the former essay, showing an easie method truly geometrical, without any conick section, or cubick æquation, to sect any angle or arch of a circle into 3. 5. 7. or any other uneven number of equal parts.

a_o supplement_n to_o a_o late_a treatise_n call_v a_o essay_n for_o the_o discovery_n of_o some_o new_a geometrical_a problem_n concern_v angular_a section_n resolve_v what_o be_v there_o problematical_o propose_v and_o with_o some_o rectification_n make_v in_o the_o former_a essay_n show_v a_o easy_a method_n true_o geometrical_a without_o any_o conic_a section_n or_o cubick_a aequation_n to_o sect_n any_o angle_n or_o arch_n of_o a_o circle_n into_o 3.5.7_o or_o any_o other_o uneven_a number_n of_o equal_a part_n by_o g.k._n whereas_o it_o be_v suppose_v in_o the_o former_a proposal_n that_o a_o straight_a line_n can_v be_v draw_v through_o the_o extreme_a point_n of_o three_o or_o more_o concentric_a arch_n at_o both_o end_n the_o arch_n beginning_n or_o end_v upon_o a_o straight_a line_n ●oming_v from_o the_o centre_n of_o those_o concentric_a arch_n have_v equal_a cord_n though_o not_o equal_a arch_n upon_o further_a consideration_n it_o be_v find_v that_o however_o seem_o such_o a_o line_n may_v appear_v to_o be_v straight_o in_o many_o case_n as_o when_o the_o radius_fw-la be_v short_a or_o the_o angle_n very_o acute_a yet_o in_o no_o case_n be_v such_o a_o line_n mathematical_o straight_o but_o be_v a_o regular_a curve_v and_o can_v be_v as_o regular_o draw_v and_o by_o as_o true_a geometrical_a art_n as_o any_o parabola_fw-la or_o other_o conic_a section_n can_v and_o with_o great_a facility_n and_o readiness_n and_o which_o any_o tiro_n who_o understand_v nothing_o of_o conic_a section_n and_o cubick_a equation_n may_v do_v the_o way_n of_o draw_v the_o say_v curve_v be_v this_o let_v a_o short_a cross-rule_n be_v set_v at_o right_a angle_n with_o another_o long_a rule_n and_o let_v the_o length_n of_o the_o cross_a rule_n be_v at_o pleasure_n 2_o or_o 3_o inch_n or_o more_o as_o 6_o or_o 7_o as_o you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o make_v the_o length_n of_o the_o cord_n of_o each_o part_n of_o the_o section_n of_o your_o angle_n which_o as_o in_o the_o follow_a figure_n let_v be_v 3_o inch_n and_o let_v the_o just_a half_n of_o the_o cross-rule_n be_v on_o the_o left_a side_n of_o the_o long_a rule_n and_o let_v a_o small_a brass_n or_o steel-pin_n be_v fix_v on_o the_o right_a end_n of_o the_o say_v cross_a rule_n that_o as_o the_o rule_n be_v move_v may_v make_v a_o impression_n on_o the_o paper_n as_o the_o point_n of_o the_o compass_n do_v in_o draw_v a_o circle_n the_o length_n of_o the_o long_a rule_n be_v to_o be_v as_o occasion_n require_v as_o double_a or_o triple_a the_o length_n of_o the_o other_o have_v thus_o prepare_v your_o two_o rule_n the_o one_o cut_v the_o other_o at_o right_a angle_n and_o the_o cross-rule_n fix_v to_o it_o though_o it_o may_v be_v make_v also_o movable_a on_o it_o suppose_v the_o angle_n give_v to_o be_v trisect_v be_v bac_n measure_v by_o the_o arch_a bmc_n in_o order_n to_o draw_v the_o curve_v line_n with_o one_o draught_n of_o the_o hand_n set_v the_o left_a end_n of_o the_o cross-rule_n on_o the_o point_n b_o and_o from_o b_o let_v it_o run_v or_o slide_v along_o the_o line_n basilius_n and_o as_o it_o run_v along_o the_o say_a line_n let_v the_o left_a side_n of_o the_o long_a rule_n still_o run_v through_o the_o centre_n or_o vertical_a point_n a_o which_o be_v most_o easy_o do_v and_o let_v it_o run_v or_o slide_v along_o from_o b_o towards_o a_o until_o the_o other_o end_n of_o the_o cross-rule_n reach_v at_o least_o to_o the_o line_n ac_fw-la or_o further_o as_o one_o please_v and_o the_o brass_n pin_n on_o the_o other_o end_n of_o the_o cross_a rule_n shall_v describe_v the_o regular_a curve_v fig_n have_v thus_o draw_v the_o curve_v line_n at_o the_o distance_n of_o one_o half_a of_o the_o cross_a rule_n draw_v the_o straight_a line_n de_fw-fr parallel_n to_o ac_fw-la and_o where_o the_o curve_v line_n cut_v the_o straight_a line_n de_fw-fr as_o at_o i_o a_o line_n draw_v from_o the_o centre_n a_o to_o i_o shall_v by_o true_a geometry_n trisect_v the_o give_v angle_n bac_n the_o demonstration_n see_v it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o these_o two_o rule_n cross_v each_o other_o at_o right_a angle_n where_o ever_o the_o two_o end_n of_o the_o cross_a rule_n terminate_v to_o make_v a_o isosceles_a triangle_n make_v always_o two_o right_a angle_n triangle_n who_o base_n be_v equal_a and_o the_o perpendicular_a common_a to_o both_o therefore_o by_o the_o 4._o 1._o el._n eucl._n the_o hypotenusal_n be_v equal_a therefore_o with_o radius_fw-la ai_fw-fr describe_v the_o arch_n hlis_n draw_v the_o cord_n he_o and_o from_o i_o let_v fall_v a_o perpendicular_a on_o the_o line_n ac_fw-la as_o ik_fw-mi make_v he_o =_o li_n =_o ik_fw-mi therefore_o the_o arch_n of_o those_o equal_a sin_n be_v equal_a as_o hl_n =_o li_n =_o be_v q.e.d._n the_o same_o or_o any_o other_o angle_n obtruse_a or_o acute_a may_v be_v trisect_v into_o 3_o equal_a part_n without_o the_o curve_v line_n or_o any_o part_n of_o it_o by_o find_v the_o point_n i_o which_o can_v be_v find_v without_o the_o curve_v line_n by_o let_v the_o cross_a rule_n slide_v or_o run_v along_o the_o line_n ab_fw-la while_o the_o left_a side_n of_o the_o long_a rule_n still_o run_v through_o the_o centre_n a_o either_o upward_o or_o downward_o until_o the_o right_a side_n of_o the_o cross_a rule_n touch_v the_o straight_a line_n de_fw-fr which_o shall_v be_v at_o i._o and_o thus_o without_o any_o need_n of_o noticing_z or_o regard_v the_o curve_v line_n the_o point_n 1_o be_v find_v where_o the_o two_o straight_a line_n he_o and_o de_fw-fr meet_v together_o and_o as_o thus_o any_o angle_n may_v be_v trisect_v without_o draw_v any_o curve_v line_n so_o it_o may_v easy_o and_o true_o be_v do_v without_o either_o scale_n or_o compass_n other_o than_o what_o the_o two_o cross_a rule_n be_v as_o any_o artist_n may_v easy_o perceive_v if_o any_o object_n against_o this_o method_n as_o mechanical_a and_o not_o mathematical_a and_o
