Page 54 - When the given angle is acute, and the side apposite the given angle is less than the other given side, and greater than the shortest dis.
Page 47 - 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.
Page 83 - In the circular measure of an angle and its intercepted arc, the unit of angle is an angle at the centre of a circle, subtended by an arc equal to the radius of the circle ; and this arc is the unit of arc.
Page 120 - I. The sine of the middle part is equal to the product of the tangents of the adjacent parts.
Page 46 - For, since C is a right angle, its sine is 1 (Art. 35). Also 49. 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.
