Page 281 - The bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite side into segments proportional to the adjacent sides.
Page 268 - S' denote the areas of two circles, R and R' their radii, and D and D' their diameters. Then, I . 5*1 = =»!. That is, the areas of two circles are to each other as the squares of their radii, or as the squares of their diameters.
Page 76 - If in a right triangle a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle to the hypotenuse : I.
Page 179 - For, if we have given ab' = a'b, then, dividing by bb', we obtain Corollary. The terms of a proportion may be written In any order which will make the product of the extremes equal to the product of the means.
Page 95 - The line joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side, and equal to half the third side.
Page 195 - The square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. 3. In a right triangle the square of either leg is equal to the square of the hypotenuse minus the square of the other leg.
