sides of the equilateral trianglo (if it be equilaterally triangular in shape)? Tell (me), O friend, the measures of the perpendicular side and the base, in case the carpet happens to be) a longish quadrilateral figure (in shape).
The rule for arriving at an equilaterally quadrilateral figure or at a longish quadrilateral figure when the numerical value of the area of the figure is known :
146. The square root of the acourate measure of the (given) area gives rise to the value of the side of the required) equilateral quadrilateral figure. On dividing the (given) area with an optionally chosen quantity (other than the square root of the valne of the given area, this) optionally chosen quantity and the resulting quotient constituto the valocs of the perpendicular-side and the base in relation to the (required) longish quadrilateral figure.
An example in illustration thereof. 147. What indeed is that equilateral quadrilateral figure, the area whereof is 64 P The accurate value of the area of the longish (quadrilateral) figure is 60. What are the values of the perpendioular-side and the base here?
The rule for arriving at a quadrilateral figure with two equal sides baving the given area of such a quadrilateral figure with two equal sides, after gotting at a derived longish quadrilatoral figure with the aid of the givon numerical bijax and also after utilizing a given number as the required multiplier, when the numerical value of the accurate measure of the area of the required quadrilateral figure with two oqual sides is known :
148. The square of the given (multiplier) is multiplied by the that (given) area. The (resulting) produot is diminished by the value of the area (of the longish quadrilateral figure) derived (from the given bijas). The romainder, when divided by the base
148. The problom here is to construot . quadrilateral figare of golvo area and vith two equal siden. For this purpose an optionally chosen number and set of two bijas are given. The process deuoribed in the role will become olour by wpplying it to the problem given in the next'tanse. The hijau mentioned therein are 8 and 8; and the given area is 7, the given optional number badag 9.
