Σελίδα 108 - All the interior angles of any rectilineal figure, together with four right angles, are equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides.
Σελίδα 70 - To get, then, the quantity of shelled corn in a crib of corn in the ear, measure the length, breadth and height of the crib, inside of the rail; multiply the length by the breadth and the product by the height; then divide the product by two, and you have the number of bushels of shelled corn in the crib.
Σελίδα 29 - Every circumference of a. circle, whether the circle be large or small, is supposed to be divided into 360 equal parts called degrees. Each degree is divided into 60 equal parts called minutes, and each minute into 60 equal parts called seconds.
Σελίδα 60 - PROBLEM V. To find the area of any regular polygon. RULE. Multiply the sum of its sides by a perpendicular drawn from its centre to one of its sides, and take half the product for the area. Or, multiply the square of the side of a polygon (from three to twelve, sides) 'by the numbers in the fourth column of the table for polygons, opposite the number of sides required, and the product will be the area nearly.
Σελίδα 20 - Divide the given number into periods of two figures each, by setting a point over the place of units, another over the place of hundreds, and so on over every second figure, both to the left hand in integers, and to the right hand in decimals. Find the greatest square in the first period on the left hand, and set its root'on the right hand of the given number, after the manner of a quotient figure in Division.
Σελίδα 72 - Cone or Pyramid. Rule: Multiply the circumference of the base by the slant height and half the product is the slant surface; if the surface of the entire figure is required, add the.
Σελίδα 61 - As 7 is to 22, so is the diameter to the circumference; or, as 22 is to 7, so is the circumference to the diameter.
Σελίδα 63 - ... is double that of another, contains four times the area of the other. 4. — The area of a circle is equal to the area of a triangle whose base is equal to the circumference, and perpendicular equal to the radius. 5. — The area of a circle is equal to the rectangle of its radius, and a right line equal to half its circumference. 6. — The area of a circle is to the square of the diameter as .7854 to 1 ; or, multiply half the circumference by half the diameter, and the product will be the area.
Σελίδα 4 - ... and are those which are to be found, at present, in most of the common tables on this subject. The distinguishing mark of this system of logarithms is, that the index or logarithm of 10 is 1 ; that of 100 is 2 ; that of 1000 is 3 ; &c. And, in decimals, the logarithm of •! is — 1 ; that of -01 is — 2 ; that of '001 is — 3, &c.
