Express that angle in degrees and decimals of degrees, and find the circular measure of one minute. On a circle 10 feet in radius it was found that an angle of 22° 30′ was subtended by an arc 3 feet 11 inches in length; hence calculate, to four decimal places, the numerical ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. 6.

(Including Solution of Triangles.)

[N.B.-Great importance will be attached to accuracy in numerical results.]

I. In plane trigonometry state how a right angle is usually divided by English and French mathematicians respectively. If the circumferences of the quadrants of two circles be divided similarly to the right angles they subtend, what would be the radius of a circle divided according to the French scale, in which the length of the arc of one grade would be equal to the length of the arc of one degree on a circle whose radius was 18 feet? Express in the French scale (1) the sum of the angles of a quindecagon, (2) one of the angles when the quindecagon is equiangular.

2. According to the ratio definition, point out which of the elementary trigonometrical functions are never less than unity, and which may be either less or greater than unity.

Prove (sin A)2 + (cos A)2 = 1, and express the numerical values of sin 135° and tan 150° with their proper signs.

3. If (A+B) is an angle in the first quadrant, obtain by means of a geometrical figure the formula cos (A+B) = =cos A cos B- sin A sin B, and deduce from it the expression for cos (A – B).

Find sec (A+B) in terms of sec A and sec B, and prove
