________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir ,228 GANITASĀRASANGRAHA. Examples in illustration thereof. 138. There are two isosceles triangles. Their area is the same. The perimeters are also equal in value. What are the values of their sides, ard what of their bases ? 139. There are two isosceles triangles. The area of the first one is twice (that of the second). The perimeter of both of them) is the same. What are the values of (theirsides, and what of (their) bases ? 140. There are two isosceles triangles. The perimeter of the second (triangle is twice (that of the first). The areas of the two (triangles) are equal. What are the values of (their) sides, and what of (their) bases ? 141. There are two isosceles triangles. The area of the first (triangle) is twice (that of the second); and the perimeter of the second (triangle is twice that of the first). What are the values of (their) sides, and what of (their) bases ? The rule for arriving at an equilateral quadrilateral figure, or for arriving at a regular circular figure, or for arriving at an equilateral triangular figure, or for arriving at a longish quadrilateral figure, with the aid of the numerical value of the proportionate part of a given suitable thing (from among these), wben any optionally chosen number from among the natural) numbers, starting with one, two, &c., and going beyond calculation, is made to give the numerical measure of that proportionate part of that given suitable thing : 142. The (given measure of the) area (of the proportionate part) is divided by the appropriately) similarised measure of the part held (in the hand). The quotient (80 obtained), if multiplied by four, gives rise to the measure of the breadth of the circle and 142. In probleme of the kind given under this rule, a circle, or a square, or an equilateral triangle,or an oblong is divided into a desired number of equal parts, each part being bounded on one side by a portion of the perimeter and bearing the same proportion to the total area of the figure as the portion of the perimeter bears to the perimeter as a whole. It will be seen that in the case of a cirole each part is a sector, in the case of a square and an oblong it is a rectangle, and in the case of an equilateral triangle it is a triangle. The area of each part and the length of the original perimeter contained in each part are both of given For Private and Personal Use Only
