Seite 415 - Therefore all the interior angles of the figure, together with four right angles, are equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides.
Seite 163 - Of four-sided figures, a square is that which has all its sides equal, and all its angles right angles.
Seite 395 - The sum of any two sides of a spherical triangle is greater than the third side, and their difference is less than the third side. DEM.— Let ABC be any spherical triangle; then l3 BO' < BA + AC, and BC - AC < BA ; and the same is true of the sides in any order.
Seite 129 - In every triangle the sum of the three angles is equal to two right angles.
Seite 290 - A . sin b = sin a . sin B sin A . sin c — sin a . sin C sin B . sin c = sin b . sin C...
Seite xxi - ... set of prime numbers cannot be finite — since the product of any set of finite numbers plus one gives a new prime number — is as aesthetically neat in our times as it was in Euclid's. But a problem takes on extra luster if, in addition to its logical elegance, it provides useful knowledge. That the shortest distance between two points on a sphere is the arc of a great circle is an agreeable curiosity ; that ships on earth actually follow such paths enhances its interest.
Seite 310 - In practice however, there will generally be some circumstances which will determine whether the angle required is acute or obtuse. If the side opposite the given angle be longer than the other given side...
Seite 123 - ... are identical with angles of the triangle, and the third, b, which forms a space indefinitely extended, differs from the opening we call the angle C merely by the small space included in the triangle. "This last, by bringing the triangle nearer to C, may be rendered as small as we please ; and thus a triangle can always be assigned whose angles shall differ from a...
Seite 330 - A — cos B cos C — sin B sin C cos a ; and changing the signs of the terms, we obtain, cos A = sin B sin C cos a — cos B cos C.
Seite 167 - In other words, if the fundamental rule that the whole is equal to the sum of its parts and that the deduction of any part decreases the whole is adhered to, the depreciation problem is solved.
