Σελίδα 241 - In every plane triangle, the sum of two sides is to their difference as the tangent of half the sum of the angles opposite those sides is to the tangent of half their difference.
Σελίδα 251 - Being on a horizontal plane, and wanting to ascertain the height of a tower, standing on the top of an inaccessible hill, there were measured, the angle of elevation of the top of the hill 40°, and of the top of the tower 51° ; then measuring in a direct line 180 feet farther from the hill, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower was 33° 45' ; required the height of the tower.
Σελίδα 109 - The perimeters of two regular polygons of the same number of sides, are to each other as their homologous sides, and their surfaces are to each other as the squares of those sides (Book IV.
Σελίδα 91 - Two similar triangles are to each other as the squares described on their homologous sides. Let ABC, DEF, be two similar triangles, having the angle A equal to D, and The angle B=E.
Σελίδα 169 - THEOREM. 7?/6 convex surface of a cylinder is equal to the circumference of its base multiplied by its altitude.
Σελίδα 41 - CIRCLE is a plane figure bounded by a curved line, all the points of which are equally distant from a point within called the centre; as the figure ADB E.
Σελίδα 155 - AK. The two solids AG, AQ, having the same base AEHD are to each other as their altitudes AB, AO ; in like manner, the two solids AQ, AK, having the same base AOLE, are to each other as their altitudes AD, AM. Hence we have the two proportions, sol.
