Page 210 - PROP. X. THEOR. IF a straight line be bisected, and produced to any point, the square of the whole line thus produced, and the square of the part of it produced, are together double of the square of half the line bisected, and of the square of the line made up of the half and the part produced.
Page 210 - If a straight line be bisected, and produced to any point ; the rectangle contained by the whole line thus produced, and the part of it produced...
Page 139 - In a triangle, having given the base, the sum of the other two sides, and the length of a line drawn from the vertical angle to the middle of the base, to find the sides of the triangle.
Page 10 - ... algebra, or the modern analysis, from the mechanical facility of its operations, has contributed, especially on the Continent, to vitiate the taste and destroy the proper relish for the strictness and purity so conspicuous in the ancient method of demonstration. The study of geometrical analysis appears admirably fitted to improve the intellect, by training it to habits of precision, arrangement, and close application. If, the taste thus acquired be not allowed to obtain undue ascendancy, it...
Page 101 - Describe a circle which shall pass through a given point and touch a given straight line and a given circle.
Page 98 - Describe a circle which shall pass through two given points, and have its centre in a given line.
Page 25 - To trisect a right angle. 37. To divide a triangle into two parts by a line drawn parallel to a side, so that these parts shall be to each other as two given straight lines. 38. To divide a triangle into two parts by a line drawn perpendicular to the base, so that these parts shall...
Page 140 - In any plane triangle, as the base is to the sum of the other two sides, so is the difference of those sides to the difference of the segments of the base made by a perpendicular let fall from the vertical angle.
Page 30 - The lengths of three lines drawn from the three angles of a plane triangle to the middle of the opposite sides, being 18, 24, and 30, respectively ; it is required to find the sides.
