Prop. XIX. Prob. XI.
Circa datum umbilicum Trajectoriam Parabolicam describere, quae tran∣sibit per puncta data, & rectas positione datas continget.

Sit S umbilicus, P punctum & TR tangens trajectoriae descri∣bendae.

Centro P, intervallo PS describe circulum FG. Ab umbilico ad tangentem demitte perpendicularem ST, & produc e∣am ad V, ut fit TV aequalis ST. Eodem modo describendus est alter circulus fg, si da∣tur alterum punctum p; vel inveniendum alterum punctum v, si datur altera tangens tr; dein ducenda recta IF quae tangat du∣os circulos FG, fg si dantur duo puncta P,
