Page 11 - Any two sides of a triangle are together greater than the third side.
Page 15 - The perpendiculars from the vertices of a triangle on the opposite sides are concurrent.
Page 11 - The opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle are together equal to two right angles, with converse.
Page 8 - The straight line, joining the points of bisection of two sides of a triangle, is parallel to the base.
Page 35 - The contour-line for a level immediately underneath that corresponding to the bar has a closed branch within the region of depression cut off. Thus the closed curve at I4, Fig. 24, is part of the contour-line ux. If a chart of an insular high-land be constructed as above indicated, a pass occurs at the node (see Fig. 24) of a figure-of-eight curve, (or out-loop curve, as Professor Cayley has termed it) ; while a bar occurs at the node of an in-loop curve. If, in Fig. 24, we interchange the summits...
