the M-coud (".ii", t ) the s.piare of tho iiiveii sid,
add twice the area inultiplied by J take tin:
s.piare root this will be the Iciitli of the paral

I!. When the bins coliiere, ami tlie angles
made by tlie given side ami the com crying lines
one is greater an ' the oilier less than a right angle.
I. When the lilies diverge, and the angles made
by tlie given Ma and the diversing lines one is
greater ami the utiierless than a right angle.
ii (.. Diiide the sine of the difference of the
ano.les by th,' rectangle of the sines) of those angles.
Call this H. Then, for the third case, ftom the
sipiare of the given side suhtraet twice the area
multiplied by lk'. Take the sipiare rout. Tor
the 4th case, to' llie square of the giien bide add
the same quantity and take the sipiare root. The
result in each cae w ill he the length of llie paral
lel tide. Take the difference between the two pa
rallel sides, divide this difference by Q the result
will he the perpendicular distance between the
parallel sides. This distance and the parallel sides
being found, all the rest may be obtained by tri
gonometry. S. H.
