When two proportions have the same antecedents , the consequents may be put into a proportion ; for , if we have A : B :: C : D , A : E :: C : F , by changing the place of the means , these proportions will become A : C :: B : D , 4 : C ...

There being a proportion among any magnitudes whatever designated by the letters A : B :: C : D , we have , by the above changes , B + A : A :: D + C : C , B - A : A :: D - C : C. If we change the place of the means in these results ...

Accordingly , if , by means of the triangle abc , we construct the following triangle a'b'c ' , the sum of the angles a ' + b of this triangle will be equal to the angle a , and will , consequently , be less than any given angle ...

Besides , if the measure of angles by the arcs of a circle be in some degree indirect , it is not the less easy to obtain , by means of them , the direct and absolute measure ; for , if we compare the arc , which is used as the measure ...
