Page 55 - This textbook may be borrowed for two weeks, with the privilege of renewing it once. A fine of five cents a day is incurred by failure to return a book on the date when it is due. The Education Library is open from 9 to 5 daily except Saturday when it closes at 12.30.
Page 52 - ... 25 ft. long, leans against a house and reaches to a point 21.6 ft. from the ground. Find the angle between the ladder and the house, and the distance the foot of the ladder is from the house. Why are we able to solve an example like this by trigonometry when we are not able to do so by geometry ? 9. The Washington Monument is 555 ft. high. How far apart are two observers 555 who from points due west of the monument observe its angles of elevation to be 25° and 48° 17

Page 4 - O or small, be divided into 360 equal arcs, each arc is called a degree. The degree is divided into 60 minutes, and the minute into 60 seconds. The length of a degree, minute, or second, depends on the size of the circle.
Page 11 - The student must notice that sin a is a single symbol. It is the name of a number, or fraction, belonging to the angle a ; and if it be at any time convenient, we may denote sin a by a single letter, such as o, or x. Also, sin2...

Page 29 - Art. 16 expresses the functions of «, whatever be its magnitude, in terms of each of the other functions of that angle if the ± sign be prefixed to the radicals. The definitions of the trigonometric functions (Art. 12) apply to angles of any size and sign, but it is always possible to express the functions of any angle in terms of the functions of a positive acute angle. The functions of any angle...
