Note.-If the parts of the line be a and b, the proposition algebraically expressed is (a + b)2 + a2 = 2a (a + b)+b2. Ör (a + b)2 +b2 = 2b (a + b) + a2.

PROP. XLVII.

THEOR. 12. 2 Eu.

In obtuse angled triangles, if a perpendicular be drawn from either of the acute angles to the opposite side produced, the square of the side subtending the obtuse angle, is greater than the squares of the sides containing the obtuse angle, by twice the rectangle contained by the side upon which, when produced, the perpendicular falls, and the straight line intercepted without the triangle between the perpendicular and the obtuse angle.

Let ABC have the obtuse ACB. From A draw ADL BC produced: then BA2 > BC + CA' by 2 BC. CD.

PROP. XLVIII. THEOR. 13. 2 Eu.

In every triangle, the square of the side subtending either of the acute angles, is less than the squares of the sides containing that angle, by twice the rectangle contained by either of these sides, and the straight line intercepted between the perpendicular let fall upon it from the opposite angle, and the acute angle.

Let ABC have the acute ABC, upon BC one of the sides containing it, draw AD 1 BC; then AC2 < CB' + BA by 2 CB.BD.

DEF.-A straight line is said to touch a circle when it meets the circle, and being produced does not cut it. This line is said to be a tangent to the circle at the point of contact.

PROP. L. THEOR.

3. 3 Eu.

If a straight line drawn through the centre of
a circle, bisect a straight line in it which
does not pass through the centre, it shall
cut it at right angles: and if it cut it at
right angles, it shall bisect it.

Let ABC be a O, and let CD passing through the Cr. bisect AB not passing through it, in the point F; then CD shall cut AB at rt. s.
