What reading level is A Geometry for Beginners book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
149. Problem. To transform a rectangle ABCD (Fig. 138) into a square.
Construction. Make BE = BC, and about O, the middle point of B E, describe an arc cutting DA prolonged in F. Join FB, and the square con- structed upon FB will be equal in area to the rectangle ABCD.
Proof. EBF is a right triangle. For the triangles OEF and OBF are isosceles (why?) ; hence EFO = FEO, and OFB = OBF ( 80). By addi- tion, EFO + OFB = EFB = FEO -f OBF. But EFB + FEO + OBF = 180 ( 64) ; therefore EFB = 90.
l&L.
Fi...g. 138.
Since EBFis a right triangle, it follows from 142, Corollary 3, that ~FJ? = the area of the rectangle ABCD.
Exercises. 1. Construct a rectangle with the sides 9 dm and 4 dm, and transform it into a square. Measure the side of the square. What is its length ? What ought its length to be ?
2. Construct a triangle with the sides 4 dm, 6 dm, and 8 dm, and transform it into a square.
3. Transform a given parallelogram into a square.
150. Problem. To transform any polygon ABCDE (Fig. 139} int a triangle.
