Seite 52 - In any triangle, the square of a side opposite an acute angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides diminished by twice the product of one of those sides and the projection of the other side upon it.
Seite 53 - Sines that the bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite side into parts proportional to the adjacent sides.
Seite 142 - PZ, it follows that the altitude of the elevated pole is equal to the latitude of the place of observation. The triangle ZPM then (however much it may vary in shape for different positions of the star M), always contains the following five magnitudes : PZ= co-latitude of observer = 90°...
