oblem can be solved in both ways. The geometrical solution ofthis problem is as follows: Take DC = s, the sum of the two sides,and make ODC .= 45°. From C as a centre,with a radius Ti, the hj^potenuse, describe anafc cutting DO, as in A and A, Draw AC andthe perpendicular AB, also AC and the… … Comparisons of these Solutions.—1st.We find in the algebraic solution, that, in Fig. 4:30. 278 EXERCISES IN GEOMETEICAL INVENTION. general, y may have two values—viz., is + l^^h^ — «, and \s — ^^2,h^ — s*;and that when y = U + ^/\/2/t^ — s, ;c = i« — |-y/2AT — .s; but, when y =^s — 4^^/2/t^ — A, X…
