Whatever be the ratio of two angles , they will always be to each other as the arcs intercepted between their sides ; the arcs being described from the vertices of the angles as centres , with equal radii . Let ACB be the greater and ...

Now , if from the point O as a centre , with the radius OD , a circle be described , this circle will evidently be inscribed in the triangle ABC ; for the side AB , being perpendicular to the radius at its extremity , is a tangent ...
