Giventhe base (_abc_), raise from its centre a perpendicular (_OP_) of therequired height, then draw lines from the corners of that base to apoint _P_ on the vertical line, and the thing is done. These pyramidscan be used in drawing roofs, steeples, &c. The cone is drawn in thesame way, so also is any other figure, whether octagonal, hexangular, triangular, &c.

... This enormous structure stands on a square base of over thirteen acres, each side of which measures, or did measure, 764 feet. Its originalheight was 480 feet, each side being an equilateral triangle. Let us seehow we can draw this gigantic mass on our little sheet of paper.
In the first place, to take it all in at one view we must put it veryfar back, and in the second the horizon must be so low down that wecannot draw the square base of thirteen acres on the perspective plane, that is on the ground, so we must draw it in the air, and also to a verysmall scale.
