A complete treatise on practical land-surveying, in seven parts; . parte) gh-es 920 links, eack persons dare tf Ike side B B, tnerefare, set off 320 finla - I . and fiwD set off Dhide A B C, representing a triangular field, A 1 A C. iii I I ::T ... Section II.) LAND-SURVEYING. 295 Having the three sides of the triangle, we find its area= square links; then, as : A B = 2200:: As share = 300000 square links : links, As share ofthe base. Again, as : 2200 :: 400000 : links, Bsshare of the base. The remainder of the base, which is links, belongs toC ; and, deducting 7a., the sum of A and Bs shares, from thearea of the whole triangle, we find remaining for Cs square links = 5a. 2r. 36p. From A, therefore, set off links to D, and from D setof links to E ; and the lines CD and C E will be thelines of division required. PROBLEM III. To divide a triangular Fields either equally or unequally, amongany Number of Persons, by Fences proceeding from any as-signed Point in one of its Sides. Rule.—Divide the base or side of the triangle from whichthe division-fences are to be run, as directed in the last the assigned point, draw a line to the opposite angle;
