Underwhat condition will the length of the Image equal the length of the tree ?This exercise ilhistrates the principle of the photographers camera. Ex. 770. By means of Prop. XXXII construct a mean proportionalbetween two given lines. Ex. 771. In a certain circle a chord 5\/5 inches from the center is 20inches in length. Find the length of a chord U inches from the
