...triangle into two right-angled triangles ; then say, as the given base is to the ( sum of the two other sides, so is the difference of those sides, to the difference ( of the segments of the base. To half the base add half the difference of the 5 segments for the greater segment, and subtract it... | |

...upon it from the opposite angle. Then, as the base or sum of the segments made by the perpendicular is to the sum of the other two sides, so is the difference of those sides to the difference of the segment of the base, and half the difference added to the half base will give the greater segment,... | |
