...demonstrated. PROPOSITION XXX. THEOREM. If from the same point O without a circle, a tangent OA and a secant OC be drawn, the tangent will be a mean proportional between the secant and its external segment ; that is, we shall have OC : OA : : OA : OD ; or, which is the same thing, OAZ=OC.OD. For,... | |
