...169 II. When the three given parts are two sides and the included angle. — As the sum of the two given sides is to their difference, so is the tangent of half the sum of the opposite angles to the tangent of half their difference. In the triangle ABC, AB = 345, and BC = 174,... | |

...quantities we proceed as follows : — Suppose AB, BC, known, and the angle ABC. Then as the sum of the two sides Is to their difference, So is the tangent of half the sum of the two unknown angles To the tangent of half their difference. Half their difference thus found, added... | |

...two sides and the included angle, to find the rest. Proposition HI. may here be written as a rule. " As the sum of the given sides is to their difference, so is the tangent of half the sum of the opposite angles to the tangent of half their difference. And the half difference added to half the... | |

...effected by means of props. 15 and 16 of the preceding section. Thus: take the given angle from 180°, the remainder will be the sum of the other two angles. Then say, — As the sum of the given sides, Is to their difference ; So is the tangent of half the sum... | |

...this rule may be enunciated in general terms; thus, As the sum of two sides of a plane triangle'is to their difference, so is the tangent of half the sum of the angles opposite those sides to the tangent of half the difference of those angles. Let ABC (Fig. 47)... | |
