Arithmetic Dec. 11 1794
length, your lines must be each of them an inch in breadth: and universally, make your side as short as you will, if the length of it consists of any number of equal parts, your re the breadth of your radical line must be equal to the length of one of those parts. In geometry then, by the square of a line can not be understood the square formedcapable by the repetition of a line, as in arithmetic by the square of a number is understood one number formed by the repetition of another number. By the square of a line must be understood a square rectangular figure leaving one of its sides and being a square every one of its sides of a length equal to that of the line: a square having that line for one of its boundaries, and three lines equal to thay line for the three other boundaries.
