Page 388 - The sum of any two sides of a spherical triangle is greater than the third side, and their difference is less than the third side.
Page vii - The rectangle contained by the diagonals of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is equal to the sum of the two rectangles contained by its opposite sides.
Page 17 - To find the other side: — as the sum of the two given sides is to their difference, so is the tangent of half the sum of their opposite angles to the tangent of half their difference...
