Page 62 - I. The sine of the middle part is equal to the product of the tangents of the adjacent parts.
Page 79 - Wanting to know the breadth of a river, I , measured a base of 500 yards in a straight line close by one side of it ; and at each end of this line I found the angles subtended by the other end and a tree, close to the bank on the other side of the river, to be 53° and 79° 12'.
Page 11 - Hence, if we find the logarithm of the dividend, and from it subtract the logarithm of the divisor, the remainder will be the logarithm of the quotient. This additional caution may be added. The difference of the logarithms, as here used, means the algebraic difference ; so that, if the logarithm of the divisor...
Page 97 - The hour angle of a heavenly body, is the angle at the pole between the celestial meridian and the circle of declination passing through the place of the body ; thus, zpx is the hour angle of x.
Page 114 - Paris, and extended northward ; the result of the measurement gave, as the length of a degree in latitude 49J°, 121,627 yards, which differs only 35 yards from what is now considered as the most exact length ; an accuracy which is justly supposed to be quite accidental. Since this period arcs of meridian lines have been measured in various countries, as well in intermediate latitudes between the equator and the north pole, as near both the equator and the pole. The following table represents the...
