2. Divide the height of the segment by the diameter, and find the quotient in the
column of heights in the following table. Take out the corresponding area in the
next column on the right hand, and multiply it by the square of the circle's diameter

Rule

This rule is founded on the principle of similar plane

The
figures being to one another as the squares of their like lineal dimensions.
In the first column
segments in the table are those of a circle whose diameter is 1.
Hence the area of the
