ave simple ratios to each other, founded on the num-bers 2, 3, 5. And, of these triangles, right angle ones are thesimplest in relation to our present subject, since they contain inthemselves the standard angle of comparison for the other twoangles. (26) Formal beauty, thus founded upon the numbers… … which the equal acute angles are to each other as 1 : 1, and tothe right angle, as 1 : 2. Also this triangle can, as shown atA a C and a b B, be indefinitely divided into triangles similarto the whole one, ABC. It thus geometrically represents theprinciple of uniformity.. 38.
