The Tetragon or Square Pyramid.
There is a Tunn in the form of the Frustum of a Square Pyramid,
A = 144 Inches, the length of a Side above,
B = 108 Inches, the length of a Side below,
P = 60 Inches, the Perpendicular,
Q. The Content in Gallons?
The Coefficients being found by the former Rule and Example, viz.

1/3 of d d = the first Coefficient .1.2
d B = the second Coefficient 64.8
B B = the third Coefficient 116.64
These three being divided by 282 the Cubick Inches in the Ale Gallon, are equal to

If the Tunn stand upon its greater Base, the Coefficients then are P) B - A (= - d, and the 1/3 d d = the first, A d = the second, and A A = the third, which divided by 282 the number of Cubick Inches in an Ale Gallon,
