A gentleman has a bowling green, 300 feet long, and 200 feet broad, which he would raise 1 foot higher, by means of the earth to be dug out of a ditch that goes round it : to what depth must the ditch be dug, supposing its breadth to be every where 8 feet i Ans. 7f-| feet. QUEST. 49. How high above the earth must a person be raised, that he may see j. of its surface ? Ans. to the height of the earth's diameter. Page xvi - ... himself closely to the measuring of them, as well as other figures. Accordingly he determined the relations of spheres, spheroids, and conoids to cylinders and cones ; and the relations of parabolas to rectilineal planes, whose quadratures had long before been determined by Euclid. He has left us also his attempts upon the circle ; he proved that a circle is equal to a right... Page xvi - In his time the conic sections were admitted into geometry, and he applied himself closely to the measuring of them as well as other figures. Accordingly he determined the relations of spheres, spheroids, and conoids, to cylinders and cones ; and the relations of parabolas to rectilineal planes, whose quadratures had long before been determined by Euclid. He has... Page 159 - Add into one sum the areas of the two ends, and the mean proportional between them... Page 163 - To the sum of the areas of the two ends add four times the area of a section parallel to and equally distant from both ends, and this last sum multiplied by | of the height will give the solidity.
