Page 94 - In, any spherical triangle, the cosine of any side is equal to the product of the cosines of the other two sides, plus the product of the sines of those two sides into the cosine of their included angle.
Page 72 - The last statement involves the assertion that the three angles of a spherical triangle determine the sides, whereas we are accustomed to say in Plane Trigonometry, that, at least one given part of a plane triangle must be a side, in order that the triangle may he determined- There is really no such difference as these two statements imply- For example, it...
