Ques 2: Two sides of a triangle are respectively 80 and 40 [unclear: Perches?] required the third so that the content may be just an acre. Make 40 [unclear: perches?] the base, & the perpendicular must be [unclear]. Thus: [drawing of traingles in a rectangle with lettered points and numbers along lines]

By Calculation. To find the angle CAB AC20 = 1.30103 Rad. 90[degree symbol] = 10.00000 CB [unclear] = 0.90309
