...found by Cor. 32. 1. PROP VI. 61. In any triangle, the sum of any two sides is to their difference, as the tangent of half the sum of the opposite angles is to the tangent of half their difference. Let ABC be the proposed triangle, whose sides are AC, BC, and base AB. About the centre C, with the... | |

...— b~tan.-^(A. — B)' Hence " the sum of two sides of a plane triangle is to their difference as the tangent of half the sum of the opposite angles is to the tangent of half their difference." This formula is independent of the absolute magnitudes of the sides, and will be applicable if their... | |

...— B j ' that is to say., in any plane triangle the sum of any two sides is to their difference as the tangent of half the sum of the opposite angles is to the tangent of half their difference. By help of this rule we may determine the remaining parts of the • triangle, when we know two sides... | |

...(A — B) That is to say, the sum of two of the sides of a plane triangle is to their difference as the tangent of half the sum of the opposite angles is to the tangent of half their difference. This proportion is employed when two sides and the included angle of a triangle are given to find the... | |

...question is impossible. 81. Theorem. The sum of two sides of a triangle is to their difference, as the tangent of half the sum of the opposite angles is to the tangent of half their difference. [B. p. 13.] Proof. We have (fig. 1.) a: 6 = sin. A : sin. В ; whence, by the theory of proportions,... | |
