Page 254 - The sum of the angles of a spherical triangle is greater than two and less than six right angles ; that is, greater than 180° and less than 540°. (gr). If A'B'C' is the polar triangle of ABC...
Page 133 - The squa/re described on the difference of two straight lines is equivalent to the sum of the squares described on the two lines, diminished by twice the rectangle contained by the lines.
Page 223 - ... the two planes are equal polygons. Each side of one of the sections is parallel to the corresponding side of the other section, since they are the intersections of two parallel planes by a third. Hence, that portion of each side of the prism which is between the secant planes, is a parallelogram. Since the sections have their sides respectively equal and parallel, their angles are respectively equal. Therefore, the polygons are equal. 674. Corollary — The section of a prism made by a plane...
