THE XXXVIII. CONCLVSION.

To make a cinkangle of equall sides, and equall corners in

any circle appointed.

Deuide the circle appointed into fiue equall partes, as you

didde in the laste conclusion, and drawe ij. lines from euery

pricke to the other ij. that are nexte vnto it. And so shall you

make a cinkangle after the meanynge of the conclusion.

_Example._

Yow se here this circle A.B.C.D.E. deuided into fiue equall

portions. And from eche pricke ij. lines drawen to the other ij.

nexte prickes, so from A. are drawen ij. lines, one to B, and

the other to E, and so from C. one to B. and an other to D, and

likewise of the reste. So that you haue not only learned hereby

how to make a sinkangle in anye circle, but also how you shal

make a like figure spedely, whanne and where you will, onlye

drawinge the circle for the intente, readylye to make the other

figure (I meane the cinkangle) thereby.
