multiplied by the other, and again by the quotient which is two and one-sixth. Multiply, therefore, ten less thing by itself; it is a hundred and a square less ten things. Multiply thing by thing; it is one square. Add this together; the sum is a hundred plus two squares less twenty things, which is equal to thing multiplied by ten less thing; that is, to ten things less a square, multiplied by the sum of the quotients arising from the division of the two parts, namely, two and one-sixth. We have, therefore, twenty-one things and two-thirds of thing less two squares and one-sixth, equal to a hundred plus two squares less twenty things. Reduce this by adding the two squares and one-sixth to a hundred plus two squares less twenty things, and add the twenty negative things from the hundred plus the two squares to the twenty-one things and two-thirds of thing. Then you have a hundred plus four squares (33) and one-sixth of a square, equal to forty-one things and two-thirds of thing. Now reduce this to one square. You know that one square is obtained from four squares and one-sixth, by taking a fifth and one-fifth of a fifth.[1] Take, therefore, the fifth and one-fifth of a fifth of all that you have. Then it is twenty-four and a square, equal to ten roots; because ten is one-fifth and one-fifth of the fifth of the forty-one things and two-thirds of a thing. Now halve the roots; it gives five.
