Page 156 - I. The sine of the middle part is equal to the product of the tangents of the adjacent parts.
Page 145 - A spherical triangle is a portion of the surface of a sphere, bounded by three arcs of great circles.
Page 48 - As the sine of the angle opposite the given side is to the sine of the angle opposite the required side, so is the given side to the required side. Thus, if a (fig.
Page 50 - The third side is found by the proportion. As the sine of the given angle is to the sine of the angle opposite the required side, so is the side opposite the given angle to the required side.
Page 41 - Since, when an angle is acute its supplement is obtuse, it follows from the preceding proposition, that the sine and cosecant of an obtuse angle are positive, while its cosine, tangent, cotangent, and secant, are negative.
Page 53 - The sum of any two sides of a triangle is to their difference, as the tangent of half the sum of the angles opposite to those sides, to the tangent of half their difference.
Page 182 - But a' = 180° - A, b' = 180° - ß, c' = 180° - C. and A' = 180° - a. Therefore, — cos A = (— cos B)(— cos C) + sin B sin C(— cos a...
