Examples of the Superficiall quantitie.
The side of Tetraedron 10, his squared square 10000 multiplied in 3, brin∣geth 30000, I conclude √{powerof2}30000 the Superficiall content. Likevvise the side being 10, I finde by the thirde Probleme his containing circles Semidia∣meter √{powerof2}33 ⅓, vvhich increased by 30 the triangular Perimetrye yealdeth √{powerof2}90000/3, Also the semidiameter of the intrinsecal circle being √{powerof2}8 ⅓ multi∣plied in 30 bringeth √{powerof2}90000/12 vvhich doubled amounteth to √{powerof2}30000 the vvhole Superficies of that body agreeing vvith bothe the former operations.
