It is important to observe that the values of the trigo- nometric functions depend solely on the magnitude of the angle, and are entirely independent of the lengths of the sides of the right triangle which contains it. For let B and B' be any two points in side AD of angle DAE, and draw lines BC and B'G perpendicular to AE. Trigonometric Functions. Then, by the definitions of § 2, ■ . SO , • , B'C svo.A = , and smJ = AB AB' But right triangles ABC and AB'C are similar, since they have angle A common. "Whence, by Geometry, BG = B'C AB AB'' Thus the two values found for sin A are equal. The same may be proved true of each of the remaining functions. 4. We have from § 2, sin A = cos B. sec A = esc B. tan A = cot B. vers A = covers B. But B is the complement of A. Hence, the sine, tangent, secant, and versed sine of any acute angle are, respectively, the cosine, cotangent, cosecant, and coversed sine of the complement of the angle. & From § 2, sin A = - = cos B, and cos A = - = sin B. c c Whence, a = e sin A = c cos B, and 6 = c sin B = c cos A. That is, in any rigJU triangle, either side about the right angle is equal to the sine of the opposite angle, or the cosine of the adjacent angle, multiplied by the hypotenuse. 6.

TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS OP ANGLES IN GENERAL. 9. In Geometry, we are, as a rule, concerned with angles Less than two right angles ; but in Trigonometry it is con- venient to consider them as unrestricted in magnitude. Let be the centre, and XX' and YY' a pair of perpen- dicular diameters, of circle AY' ; OY being above, and Y below, XX', when OX is horizontal and extends to the right, and OX' to the left, of 0. Let radius OA (Fig. 1) start from the position OX, and revolve about point as a pivot towards the position OY. When OA coincides with OY, it has generated an angle of 90°; when it coincides with OX', of 180°; with OY', of 270°; with OX, its first position, of 360°; with OY again, of 450° ; and so on. Hence, a meaning may be attached to a positive angle of any number of degrees. 10. We may also conceive of a negative angle of any number of degrees. Thus, if a positive angle indicates revolution from the position OX towards OF, a negative angle, may be taken as indicating revolution from the position OX in the opposite direction, towards OY 1 - 8 Plane Trigonometry. Thus, if radius OA' (Fig. 2) starts from the position OX, and revolves about point as a pivot towards the position OY', when it coincides with OY', it lias generated an angle of -90°; when it coincides with OX', of -180°; with OY, of -270°; and so on. Note. It is immaterial which direction we consider the positive direction of rotation ; but having at the outset adopted a certain direc- tion as positive, our subsequent operations must be in accordance. 11. In generating a positive or negative angle of any number of degrees, the line from which the rotation is sup- posed to commence is called the initial line of the angle, and the final position of the rotating radius the terminal line. 12. To designate an angle, we always write first the letter at the extremity of the initial line. Thus, in designating the angle formed by the lines OX and OA, if we regard OX as the initial line, we should call it XOA ; and if we regard OA as the initial line, we should call it AOX. 13. There are always two angles less than 360° in abso- lute value, one positive and the other negative, having the same initial and terminal line. Thus there are formed by OX and OA' (Fig. 2) the posi- tive angle XOA between 270° and 360°, and the negative angle XOA' between 0° and - 90°. We shall distinguish between these angles by referring to them as "the positive angle XOA'," and "the negative angle XOA'," respectively. 14. Rectangular Co-ordinates. Let XX' and YY' be two straight lines intersecting at right angles at O ; the letters being arranged as in the fig- ures of § 9. Let Pj be any point in the plane of XX' and YY', and draw line F^M perpendicular to XX'. Trigonometric Functions. 9 Then 031 and MJP are called the rectangular co-ordinates of P 1 ; OM is called the abscissa, and JfjPthe ordinate. P a (-D,a) a. a P,(Hb,-a) Pj (b,.a) a P^.-a) The lines of reference, XX' and 7F, are called the axis of X and the axis of Y, respectively, and is called the origin. It is customary to express the fact that the abscissa of a point is b, and its ordinate a, by saying that for the point in question x = b and y = a ; or, more concisely, we may refer to the point as " the point (b, a)," where the first term in the parenthesis is understood to be the abscissa, and the second term the ordinate. 15. If, in the figure of § 14, M and N~ be points on OX and OX', respectively, such that OM = ON=b, and lines P^i and PoP 3 be drawn through M and N, respectively, perpendicular to XX', making MP X = NP 2 = NP Z = MP t = a, each of the points P u P 2 , P 3 , and P 4 will have its abscissa equal to b, and its ordinate equal to a. To avoid this ambiguity, abscissas measured to the right of are considered positive, and to the left, negative; and ordinates measured above XX' are considered positive, and below, negative. Then the co-ordinates of the points will be as follows : P„ (6, a); P 2 , (- b, a); P* (- b, -a); P„ (6, - o). io Plane Trigonometry. Note 1. It is understood, in the above convention with regard to signs, that the figure is so placed that OX is horizontal, and extends to the right from 0. Note 2. In all the figures of the present chapter, the small letters are understood as denoting the lengths of the lines to which they are attached, without regard to their algebraic signs ; hence they always represent positive quantities. 16. If a point lies upon XX', its ordinate is zero; and if it lies upon TY', its abscissa is zero. 17. General Definitions of the Functions. We will now give general definitions of the trigonometric functions, applicable to any angle whatever. Construct axes in such a way that the initial line of the angle shall be the positive direction of the axis of X, and the vertex the origin. From any point in the terminal line drop a perpendicular to the axis of X, and find the co-ordinates of this point. Then, the sine of the angle is the ratio of the ordinate of the point to its distance from the origin. Tlie cosine is the ratio of the abscissa to the distance. The tangent is the ratio of the ordinate to the abscissa. The cotangent is the ratio of the abscissa to the ordinate. The secant is the ratio of the distance to the abscissa. The cosecant is the ratio of the distance to the ordinate. Note. The above definitions include those of § 2. The definitions of the versed sine and co versed sine, given in § 2, are sufficiently general to apply to any angle whatever. 18. We will now apply the definitions of § 17 in the fol- lowing figures. In each case, we construct axes in such a way that the initial line of the angle shall be the positive direction of the axis of X, and the vertex the origin. Trigonometric Functions.

(Compare § 6.) 3 1. Given sin^l = — -; required the values of the remain- ing functions of A. The example may be solved by a method similar to that of § 6 ; since the sine is the ratio of the ordinate to the distance, we may regard the point of reference as having its ordinate equal to — 3, and its distance equal to 5. There are two points, P and P', which are 3 units below the axis of X, and distant 5 units from O.

There may be two cases : x + y acute (Fig. 1), and x + y obtuse (Fig. 2). In each figure, let Z. DOB = x and ZBOC=y. Then, ZZ>00=a; + 2/. From any point in 00 draw lines CA and OB perpen- dicular to OB and 0-B, respectively ; also, draw lines BD and BE perpendicular to OD and AC, respectively. General Formulae. 29 Since EC is perpendicular to OD, and BC to OB, angles BCE and DOB are equal ; that is, Z BCE = x. In either figure, by § 17, S ^ {x+) = AC = DB + EC = DB EC K "' OC 00 00 oc = DB OB EC BC OB 00 BO 00' Then, sin (a; + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y. (9) Again, by § 17, in Fig. 1, cos (3 + 2,) = ^-, and inFig. 2, cos(a; + w) = — =-^?. s ' ^ T ^ 00 OC Then in either figure, OD-EB OD EB cos (% + y)-- 00 OC 00 OD OB EB BC OB OC BC OC Then, cos (x + y) = cos x cos y — sin x sin y. (10) 39. Formulae (9) and (10) are very important, and it is necessary to prove them for all values of ' x and y. They have already been proved when x and y are any two acute angles ; or, what is the same thing, when they are any two angles in the first quadrant. Xow let a and b be any two angles in the first quadrant. By § 29, sin [90° + (a + 6)] = cos (a 4- 6), and cos [90° + (a + 6)] = — sin (a + b). Whence, by (9) and (10), sin [90° + (a + 6)] = cos a cos 6 — sin a sin b, (A) and cos [90° + (a + 6)] = — sin a cos b — cos a sin 6. (B) 30 Plane Trigonometry. By § 29, cos a = sin (90°+ a), and — sin a = cos (90°+ a). Then, (A) and. (B) may be written in the forms sin [(90° + a) + 6] = sin (90° + a) cos b + cos (90° + a) sin b, cos [(90° + a) + 6] = cos (90° + a) cos 6 - sin (90° + a) sin 6 ; which are in accordance with (9) and (10). But 90° + a is an angle in the second quadrant. Therefore, (9) and (10) hold when one of the angles is in the second quadrant, and the other in the first. In like manner, by supposing a to be any angle in the first quadrant, and b any angle in the second, (9) and (10) may be proved to hold when both angles are in the second quadrant. Again, by supposing a and b to be any two angles in the second quadrant, (9) and (10) may be proved to hold when one angle is in the second quadrant and the other in the third; and so on. Hence, (9) and (10) hold for any values of x and y what- ever, positive or negative. 40. Putting, in (9) and (10), — y in place of y, sin (a; — y) — sin x cos (— y)+ cos x sin (— y) = sin x cos y + cos x (— sin y), by § 28, = sin x cos y — cos x sin y. (ll) cos (x — y) = cos a; cos (— y) — sin x sin (— y) = cos x cos y — sin x (— sin y) = cos x cos y + sin x sin y. (12) 41.

Let a + b = x, and a — b = y. Adding, 2o = « + y, or a = %(x + y). Subtracting, 2b = x—y, or b = £ (a; — y). Substituting these values, we have sino;+sin2/= 2 sin £ (a; -j-y) cos £ (a; — y).

It is possible, however, to find a gen- eral value for the angles in each case, and we will now pro- ceed to find them. Case I. Angles having the same sine or the same cosecant. Given sin x = a. (1) If a is positive, the terminal side of the angle will lie in the first or second quadrant, as OP lt or OP* Let A represent the angle XOP^ the smallest numerically of all the angles satisfying Eq. (1). Then the expression «7r + (— T) n A represents a series of angles the terminal sides of which will for even values of n coincide with OP x and for odd values of n coincide with OP 2 . (Let n in this and the two follow- ing cases denote any integer positive or negative including zero.) If a in Eq. (1) is negative, the terminal side of the angle will lie in the third or fourth quadrant, as OP 3 or OP t . Let A represent the negative angle XOP it the smallest numerically of all the angles satisfying Eq. (1). Then the expression mr + ( — 1)"A represents a series of angles the terminal sides of which will for even values of n coincide with 0P 4 and for odd values of n coin- cide with 0P S . Since rnz + (— 1)"A includes all the angles and only those angles whose sines are a, it is the general value of x in Eq. (1). Since the sine and cosecant are reciprocal functions, it follows that this same general value holds for all angles which have the same cosecant. 46 Plane Trigonometry. Note. The special angles sin- 1 (1), sin- 1 (0), and sin" 1 (.— 1) evidently have the general values 2 mr + - , nir, and 2 mr — — i respectively. Case II. Angles having the same cosine or the same secant.

Since the cosine and secant are reciprocal functions, it follows that this same general value holds for all angles which have the same secant. Case III.

Since the cotangent and tangent are reciprocal functions, it follows that this same general value holds for all angles which have the same cotangent. In these three cases we have used A to represent the smallest numerical value of the angle which satisfies the given relation. This value is called the principal value of the angle. 1.

From (b) x can lie in either the second or fourth quadrant. To satisfy both equations x must lie in the second quadrant. The principal value is f w. Hence, Case II, the general value is 2 wir + -f t.

Then the equation becomes 2 cos 2 a; — 3 cos x — 2 = 0. Factoring, (2 cos a; + 1) (cos x — 2) = 0. Miscellaneous Theorems. 49 Hence, cos x — 2 = 0, (1) 2 cos x + 1 = 0. (2) COS £ = 2. or From (1) we have, There is no angle which will satisfy this equation, since 1 is the largest cosine possible. From (2) we have, cos x = — \.

The tangent is that portion of the geometrical tangent to the circle at the intersection of its circumference with OX included between OX and the terminal line, produced if necessary.

And with regard to algebraic signs, Sines and tangents measured above XX' are positive, and below, negative; cosines and cotangents measured to the right of YY' are positive, and to the left, negative; secants and cosecants measured on the terminal line itself are positive, and on the terminal line produced through 0, negative. The above are called the line values of the trigonometric functions. Miscellaneous Theorems. 57 They simply represent the values of the functions when the radius is 1 ; that is, the numerical value of the sine of an angle is the same as the number which expresses the length of the perpendicular drawn to XX' from the intersection of the circumference and terminal line. 59. To trace the changes in the sine, cosine, tangent, cotan- gent, secant, and cosecant of an angle as the angle increases from 0° to 360°. Let ATt i be a circle whose radius is 1. Let the terminal line start from the position OA, and re- volve about point as a pivot towards the position 00. Then since the sine of the angle commences with the value 0, and assumes in succession the values DjB^ D 2 B a OC, D 3 B 3 , A-B* et; c. (§ 58), it is evident that, as the angle increases from 0° to 90°, the sine increases from to 1; from 90° to 180°, it decreases from 1 to ; from 180° to 270°, it decreases (algebraically) from to — 1 ; and from 270° to 360°, it increases from — 1 to 0. Since the cosine commences with the value OA, and assumes in succession the values OD v OD 2 , 0, OD 3 , OD 4 , etc., from 0° to 90°, it decreases from 1 to ; from 90° to 180°, it decreases from to — 1 ; from 180° to 270°, it increases from —1 to 0; and from 270° to 360°, it increases from to 1. 58 Plane Trigonometry.

Since the cotangent commences at 00 , and assumes in suc- cession the values CF^ OF 2 , 0, CF^, OF 4 , etc., from 0° to 90°, it decreases from 00 to 0; from 90° to 180°, it decreases from to — 00 ; from 180° to 270°, it decreases from 00 to ; and from 270° to 360°, it decreases from to — 00 .

Thus, 100 = 10 2 ; 13 = 10 UMI "; etc. When thus expressed, the corresponding exponent is called its Logarithm to the Base 10. Thus, 2 is the logarithm of 100 to the base 10; a relation which is written log 10 100 = 2, or simply log 100 = 2. 62. Logarithms of numbers to the base 10 are called Common Logarithms, and, collectively, form the Common System. They are the only ones used for numerical computations. Any positive number, except unity, may be taken as the base of a system of logarithms ; thus, if a? = m, where a and m are positive numbers, then x = log a m. Note. A negative number is not considered as having a logarithm. 63. We have by Algebra, 10° = 1, 10-^ip.l, 10' = 10, io-» = A = .oi, 10 2 = 100, 10- s = -i- = .001, etc. 10 s Whence by the definition of § 61, log 1 = 0, log .1 = - 1 = 9 - 10, log 10 = 1, log .01 = - 2 = 8 - 10, log 100 = 2, log .001 = - 3 = 7 - 10, etc. Note. The second form for log.l, log .01, etc., is preferable in practice. If no base is expressed, the base 10 is understood. Logarithms. 61 64. It is evident from § 63 that the logarithm of a num- ber greater than 1 is positive, and the logarithm of a num- ber between and 1 negative. 65. If a number is not an exact power of 10, its common logarithm can only be expressed approximately. The integral part of the logarithm is called the character- istic, and the decimal part the mantissa. For example, log 13 = 1.1139. Here, the characteristic is 1, and the mantissa .1139. For reasons which will appear hereafter, only the man- tissa of the logarithm is given in a table of logarithms of numbers ; the characteristic must be found by aid of the rules of §§ 66 and 67. 66. It is evident from § 63 that the logarithm of a num- ber between 1 and 10 is + a decimal ; 10 and 100 is 1 + a decimal ; 100 and 1000 is 2 + a decimal ; etc. Therefore, the characteristic of the logarithm of a number with one place to the left of the decimal point, is ; with two places to the left of the decimal point, is 1 ; with three places to the left of the decimal point, is 2 ; etc. Hence, the characteristic of the logarithm of a number greater than 1 is 1 less than the number of places to the left oj the decimal point. For example, the characteristic of log 906328.5 is 5. 67. In like manner, the logarithm of a number between 1 and .1 is 9 + a decimal — 10 ; .1 and .01 is 8 + a decimal — 10 ; .01 and .001 is 7 + a decimal — 10 ; etc. 62 Plane Trigonometry. Therefore, the characteristic of the logarithm of a decimal with no ciphers between the decimal point and first signifi- cant figure, is 9, with — 10 after the mantissa ; of a decimal with one cipher between the point and first significant figure is 8, with — 10 after the mantissa ; of a decimal with two ciphers between the point and first significant figure is 7, with — 10 after the mantissa ; etc. Hence, to find the characteristic of the logarithm of a num- ber between and 1, subtract the number of ciphers between the decimal point and first significant figure from 9, writing — 10 after the mantissa. For example, the characteristic of log .007023 is 7, with — 10 written after the mantissa. Note 1. It is customary in practice to omit the — 10 after the man- tissa of a negative logarithm ; but it should be allowed for in the result. Beginners should always write it. Note 2. Some writers combine the two portions of the character- istic, and write the result as a negative characteristic before the mantissa. Thus, instead of 7.6036 - 10, the student will frequently find 3.6036, a minus sign being written over the characteristic to denote that it alone is negative, the mantissa being always positive. PROPERTIES OP LOGARITHMS. 68. In any system, the logarithm of 1 is 0. For by Algebra, a = 1 ; whence by § 62, log„ 1 = 0. 69. In any system, the logarithm of the base is 1. For a 1 = a; whence, log a a = 1. 70. In any system whose base is greater than 1, the loga- rithm of is — oo. For if a is greater than 1, a~" = — = — = 0. o? oo Whence by § 62, log„ = — co. Note. No literal meaning can be attached to such a result aa log a 0=— oo. Logarithms. 63 It must be interpreted as follows : If, in any system whose base is greater than unity, a number ap- proaches the limit 0, its logarithm is negative, and increases without limit in absolute value. 71. In any system, the logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms of its factors. Assume the equations a * = m \., whence by §62, J» = J°&« a". = n ) (y = log. n Multiplying the assumed equations, a" x a" = mn, or a x+y = mn. Whence, log„ mn = x + y = log„ m + log n. In like manner, the theorem may be proved for the prod- uct of three or more factors. 72. By aid of § 71, the logarithm of a composite number may be found when the logarithms of its factors are known. 1. Given log 2 = .3010 and log 3 = .4771; find log 72. log 72 = log(2 x2x2x3x3) = log2 + log2 + log2 + log3 + log3 (§71) = 3 x log 2 + 2 x log 3 = .9030 + .9542 = 1.8572. EXAMPLES.

In any system, the logarithm of any power of a quantity is equal to the logarithm of the quantity multiplied by the ex- ponent of the power. Assume the equation a x = m ; whence, x = log m. Raising both members of the assumed equation to theptb power, a px = mP ; whence, log m p = px = p log„ m. Logarithms. 65 76. In any system, the logarithm of any root of a quantity is equal to the logarithm of the quantity divided by the index of the root. For, logoV m = log a (m r ) = - log„ m (§ 75). 77. 1.

Putting m = a in the result of § 78, we have Whence, log 6 a x log. 6 = 1. 80. in i^e common system, the mantissce of the logarithms of numbers having the same sequence of figures are equal. Suppose, for example, that log 3.053 = .4847. Then, log 305.3 = log (100 x 3.053) = log 100 + log 3.053 = 2 + .4847 = 2.4847 ; log .03053 = log (.01 x 3.053) = log .01 + log 3.053 = 8 - 10 + .4847 = 8.4847 - 10 ; etc. Logarithms. 67 It is evident from the above that, if a number be multi- plied or divided by any integral power of 10, producing another number with the same sequence of figures, the man- tissa of their logarithms will be equal. The reason will now be seen for the statement made in § 65, that only the mantissse are given in a table of loga- rithms of numbers. For, to find the logarithm of any number, we have only to take from the table the mantissa corresponding to its sequence of figures, and the characteristic may then be prefixed in accordance with the rules of §§ 66 or 67. Thus, if log 3.053 = .4847, then log 30.53 = 1.4847, log .3053 = 9.4847 - 10, log 305.3 = 2.4847, log .03053 =8.4847-10, log 3053. = 3.4847, log .003053 = 7.4847 - 10, etc. This property is enjoyed only by the common system of logarithms, and constitutes its superiority over others for the purposes of numerical computation. 81. 1. Given log 2 = .3010, log 3 = .4771 ; find log .00432. We have log 432 = log (2* x 3 8 ) = 4 log 2 + 3 log 3 = 2.6353. Then by § 80, the mantissa of the result is .6353. Whence by § 67, log .00432 = 7.6353 - 10. EXAMPLES.

APPLICATIONS. 83. The approximate value of an arithmetical quantity, in which the operations indicated involve only multiplica- tion, division, involution, or evolution, may be conveniently found by logarithms. The utility of the process consists in the fact that addi- tion takes the place of multiplication, subtraction of divi- sion, multiplication of involution, and division of evolution. Note. In computations with four-place logarithms, the results cannot usually he depended upon to more than/ow significant figures. Logarithms. 69 84. 1. Find the value of .0631 x 7.208 x .51272. By § 71, log (.0631 x 7.208 x .51272) = log .0631 + log 7.208 + log .51272. log .0631 = 8.8000-10 log 7.208 = 0.8578 log. 51272= 9.7099-10 Adding, log of result = 19.3677 - 20 = 9.3677 - 10. (See Note 1.) Number corresponding to 9.3677 — 10 = .2332. Note 1. If the sum is a negative logarithm, it should be written in such a form that the negative portion of the characteristic may be - 10. Thus, 19.3677 - 20 is written in the form 9.3677 - 10. 2. Find the value of ^5- 7984 By § 73, log ||M = log 336.8 - log 7984. log 336.8 = 12.5273 - 10 (See Note 2.) log 7984 = 3.9022 Subtracting, log of result = 8.6251 — 10 Number corresponding = .04218. Note 2. To subtract a greater logarithm from a less, or to subtract a negative logarithm from a positive, increase the characteristic of the minuend by 10, writing — 10 after the mantissa to compensate. Thus, to subtract 3.9022 from 2.5273, write the minuend in the form 12.5273 - 10 ; subtracting 3.9022 from this, the result is 8.6251 - 10. 3. Find the value of (.07396) 5 . By § 75, log (.07396)5 = 5 x log .07396. log. 07396 = 8.8690 -10 5 44.3450 - 50 = 4.3450 - 10 (See Note 1.) = log .000002213. 70 Plane Trigonometry. 4. Find the value of V-035063. By § 76, log V.035063 = § log .035063. log .035063 = 8.5449 - 10 20. - 20 (See Note 3.) 3)28.54~49-30 9.6150 - 10 = log .3274. Note 3. To divide a negative logarithm, write it in such a form that the negative portion of the characteristic may be exactly divisible by the divisor, with — 10 as the quotient. Thus, to divide 8.5449 - 10 by 3, we write the logarithm in the form 28.5449 — 30 ; dividing this by 3, the quotient is 9.5150 - 10. 85. Arithmetical Complement. The Arithmetical Complement of the logarithm of a num- ber, or, briefly, the Cologarithm of the number, is the loga- rithm of the reciprocal of that number. Thus, colog 409 = log -i- = log 1- log 409. log 1 = 10. - 10 (Note 2, § 84.) log 409= 2.6117 .-. colog409= 7.3883-10. Again, colog .067 = log —— = log 1 — log .067. logl= 10. -10 log .067 = 8.8261 - 10 .-. colog .067 = 1.1739. It follows from the above that the cologarithm of a number may be found by subtracting its logarithm from 10 — 10. Note. The cologarithm may be obtained by subtracting the last significant figure of the logarithm from 10, and each of the others from 9, — 10 being written after the result in the case of a positive logarithm. Logarithms. 71 8& Example.

It is evident from the above example that the logarithm of a fraction either of whose terms is the product of factors, may be found by the following rule : Add together the logarithms of the factors of the numerator, and the cologarithms of the factors of the denominator. EXAMPLES. Note. A negative number has no common logarithm (§ 62, Note). If such numbers occur in computation, they should be treated as if they were positive, and the sign of the result determined irrespective of the logarithmic work. Thus, in Ex. 3, § 87, the value of 439.2 x (- 7.1367) is obtained by finding the value of 439.2 x 7.1367, and putting a negative sign before the result. See also Ex. 33. 87.

The elements of a triangle are its three sides and its three angles. We know by Geometry that a triangle is, in general, com- pletely determined when three of its elements are known, provided one of them is a side. The solution of a triangle is the process of computing the unknown from the given elements. 90. To solve a right triangle, two elements must be given in addition to the right angle, one of which must be a side. The various cases which can occur may all be solved by aid of the following formulae : • a a sin A = — c sin B = cos 5 = tan A = - tan B = c a When the given elements are a side and an 91. Case I, angle. The formula for computing either of the remaining sides may be found by the following rule : Take that function of the angle which involves the given side and the required side. 1. Given c = 23, B = 21° 33'. Find a and 6. In this case, the formulas to be used are Whence, cos B =-, and sin B = — c' c a = c cos B, and 6 = c sin B. (A) 76 Plane Trigonometry. Solution by Natural Functions. a = 23 x cos 21° 33' = 23 x .9301 = 21.39. 6 = 23 x sin 21° 33' = 23 x .3673 = 8.448. Solution by Logarithms. Taking the logarithms of both members, in formulae (A), log a = log c + log cos B, and log b = log c + log sin B. log c = 1.3617 logc = 1.3617 log cos B = 9.9685 - 10 log sin .8 = 9. 5651 - 10 loga = 1.3302 log& = 0.9268 a = 21.39. 6 = 8.448. Note. In examples under Case I. in which the given sides are numbers of not more than two significant figures, and the operations indicated involve only multiplication, it is usually shorter to employ Natural Functions. In such a case, the results cannot be depended upon to more than four significant figures. 2. Given a = .2359, A = 67° 18'. Find b and c. In this case, tan A = -, and sin A = - . b c Whence, 6= — - — , and c = — - — • tan A sin A By logarithms, log 6 = log a — log tan A, and log c = log a — log sin A. logo = 9.3727 -10 logo = 9.3727 -10 log tan A = 0.3785 log sin^4 = 9.9650 - 10 logft = 8.9942 -10 logc = 9.4077 -10 6 = .09868. c = .2557. 92. Case II. When both given elements are sides. First calculate one of the angles by aid of either formula involving the given elements, and then compute the remain- ing side by the rule of Case I. Solution of Right Triangles. 77 Ex. Given b = .1512, c = .3081. Find A and a. We first find A by the formula cos A = -, and then a by the „ c formula sin A = -, or a = c sin A c By logarithms, log cos A = log 6 — log c, and log a = log c + log sin A. log 6 = 9.1796 - 10 log c = 9.4887 - 10 logc= 9.4887 -10 log sin ^4 = 9.9401 - 10 log cos A = 9. 6909 - 10 log a = 9. 4288 - 10 ^ = 60° 36.4'. a = .2684. 93. In the Trigonometric solution of an example under Case II., it is necessary to find first one of the angles, and the remaining side may then be calculated. But it is possible to compute the third side directly, with- out first finding the angle, by Geometry. Thus, in the example of § 92, we have a? + W = — — — L b-c tan \ (B - G) and c + q = tan j(C + A) c — a tani(C — A) (44) (45) (46) 101. In any triangle, the square of any side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, minus twice their product into the cosine of their included angle. I. To prove a 2 = ft 2 -+- c 2 — 2 be cos A. Case I. When the included angle A is acute. (47) There will be two cases, according as angle B is acute (Fig. 1), or obtuse (Fig. 2). In each case, draw line CD perpendicular to AB. In Fig. 1, BD = c — AD, and in Fig. 2, BD = AD — c, Squaring, we have in either case, BD' = AD 1 + c 2 -2cxAD. General Properties of Triangles. Adding Uff to both members, B& + CD 2 = AD 2 + Off + = & cos (180° - A) = - b eos ^ (§ 32). Whence, a 2 = 6 2 + c 2 — 2 6c cos A. In like manner, 6 2 = c 2 + a 2 — 2 ca cos -B, (48) and c 2 = a 2 + b 2 - 2 a6 cos 0. (49) 102. To express the cosines of the angles of a triangle in terms of the sides of the triangle. By (47), a 2 = 6 2 + c 2 - 2 6c cos A. Transposing, 2 6c cos A = 6 2 + c 2 — a 2 . 88 Plane Trigonometry.

Since each angle of a triangle is less than 180°, its half is less than 90° ; henee, the positive sign must be taken before the radi- cal in each formula of § 103.

SOLUTION OF OBLIQUE TRIANGLES. In the solution of oblique triangles, we may distinguish four cases. 105. Case I. Given a side and any two angles. The third angle may be found by Geometry, and then by aid of § 99 the remaining sides may be calculated. The triangle is possible for any values of the given ele- ments, provided the sum of the given angles is < 180°. 1. Given 6 = 20, A = 104°, B = 19° ; find O, a, and c. We have C = 180° - (A + B)= 180° - 123° = 57°. By §99, a = sin^ i and c = sin£ 6 sin B b sin B Then, a = & sin A cse B, and c = &sinCcsc.B. Whence, log a = log & + log sin A + log esc B, and log c = log b + log sin C + log esc B. log 6 = 1.3010 log 6 = 1.3010 log sin A = 9.9869 - 10 log sin C - 9.9236 - 10 log esc B = 0.4874 log esc B = 0.4874 log a = 1.7753 log c = 1.7120 a = 59.61. c = 51.52. Note. To find the log cosecant of an angle, subtract the log sine from 10 — 10. To find log sin 104°, take either log cos 14° or log sin 76°. (See page 7 of the author's New Four Place Logarithmic Tables.) EXAMPLES. Solve the following triangles : 2. Given a = 180, A = 38°, B =75° 20'. 3. Given 6 = 8.19, B = 52°, Q = 109°. 4.

Given a = 3024, B = 133° 34', C = 22° 57'- (For additional examples under Case I, see § 112.) 106. Case II. Given two sides and their included angle. Since one angle is known, the sum of the remaining angles may be found, and then their difference may be calculated by aid of § 100. Knowing the sum and difference of the angles, the angles themselves may be found, and then the remaining side may be computed as in Case I. The triangle is possible for any values of the data. 1. Given a = 82, c = 167, B = 98° ; find A, C, and 6. By Geometry, C + A = 180° - B = 82°. By § 100, c -±^ = ta "UC + ^). JS ' c-a tan \ (C - A) Or, tani(C-4) = ^^tanJ(C + ^).

Then, C=KC+i)+}(C-4)=H 31.7 l ) and i = KC + i)-KC-4)=24°28.S', To find the remaining side, we have by § 99, 6 = osin5_ ({ginBoBc4g sin A 94 Plane Trigonometry. Whence, log 6 = log a + log sin B + log esc A. log a = 1.9138 log sin B = 9.9958 -10 log esc A = 0.3828 log 6 = 2.2924 b = 196.1. EXAMPLES. Solve the following triangles : 2. Given a = 67, c = 33, B = 36°. 3. Given a = 986, b = 544, C = 134°. 4. Given & = .149, c = .427, A = 71°. 5. Given a = 3.95, & = 6.64, C = 68° 30'. 6. Given a = 2937, c = 6185, B = 55° 46'. 7. Given b = .01292, c=. 00286, ^ = 26° 32'. (For additional examples under Case II., see § 112.) 107. Case III. Given the three sides. The angles might be calculated by the formulae of § 102 ; but as these are not adapted to logarithmic computation, it is usually more convenient to use the formulae of § 103. Each angle should be computed trigonometrically ; for we then have a check on the work, since their sum should be 180°. If all the angles are to be computed, the tangent formulae are the most convenient, since only four different numbers occur in the second members. If but one angle is required, the cosine formula involves the least work. The triangle is possible for any values of the data, pro vided no side is greater than the sum of the other two.

Given two sides, and the angle opposite to one of them. It was stated in § 89 that a triangle is in general com- pletely determined when three of its elements are known, provided one of them is a side. The only exceptions occur in Case IV. Solution of Oblique Triangles. 97 To illustrate, let us consider the following example : Given a = 52.1, 6 = 61.2, ^ = 31° 26'; find B, O, and c. By§99, sinB = 6 ) Qr sinB = b S \nA. sin A a a Whence, log sin B = log 6 + colog a + log sin A. log 6 = 1.7868 colog a = 8.2832 -10 log sin ^ = 9.7173 -10 log sin 5 = 9.7873 -10 B = 37° 47.5', from the table. But in finding the angle corresponding, attention must be paid to the fact that an angle and its supplement have the same sine (§ 32). Therefore another value of B will be 180° - 37° 47.5', or 142° 12.5' ; and calling these values B\ and _B 2 , we have B, = 37° 47.5', and B 2 = 142° 12.5'. The reason for the ambiguity is at once apparent when we attempt to construct the triangle from the data. as* «! D We first lay off angle DAF= 31° 26', and on AF take AC = 61.2. With O as a centre, and a radius equal to 52.1, describe an arc cutting AD at Bi and _Z? 2 . Then either of the triangles ABiG or AB 2 satisfies the given conditions. The two values of B which were obtained are the values of angles ABiC and AB 2 C, respectively; and it is evident geometrically that these angles are supplementary. To complete the solution, denote angles ACBi and ACB 2 by C\ and d, and sides ABi and AB- 2 by Ci and c., respectively. Then, d = 180° - {A + B{) = 180° - 69° 13.5' = 110° 46. 5', and C 2 = 180 o -(^-rB 2 )=180 o -173 o 38.6'= 6° 21.5'. 98 Plane Trigonometry. Again, by §99, «i = si "^, a &mA and c 2 _ sin Oi a sin A Whence, ci = a sin C\ esc A, and C2 = a sin 2 esc A. logo = 1.7168 loga = 1.7168 logsinCi = 9.9708 -10 log sin C 2 = 9.0443- -10 log esc A = 0.2827 log esc .4 = 0.2827 log c 2 = 1.0438 log d = 1.9703 d = 93.40. c 2 = 11.06. 109. Whenever an angle of an oblique triangle is deter- mined from its sine, both the acute and obtuse values must be retained, unless one or both can be shown to be inadmis- sible ; hence there may sometimes be two solutions, some- times one, and sometimes none, in an example under Case IV. 1. Let the data be a, b, and A, and suppose b < a. By Geometry, B must be < A; hence, only the acute value of B can be taken ; in this case there is but one solution. 2. Let the data be a, b, and A, and suppose b > a. Since B must be > A, the triangle is impossible unless A is acute. Again, since s l n - = -, and b is > a, sin 23 is > sinA sin .4 a Hence, both the acute and obtuse values of B are > A, and there are two solutions, except in the following cases : If log sin 23 = 0, then sin 23 = 1 (§ 68), and B = 90°, and the triangle is a right triangle ; if log sin B is positive, then sin B is > 1, and the triangle is impossible. The above results may be stated as follows : If, of the given sides, that adjacent to the given angle is the less, there is but one solution, which corresponds to the acute value of the opposite angle. If the side adjacent to the given angle is the greater, there are two solutions, unless the log sine of the opposite angle is or positive ; in which cases there are one solution (a right triangle), and no solution, respectively.

APPENDIX TO PLANE TRIGONOMETRY. PARALLEL SAILING. In Parallel Sailing, a vessel sails along a parallel of latitude from one position to another in the same latitude. Let 0' be the centre of the earth ; P, the north .pole ; PA' and PB', meridians ; A'B' t the equator ; AB, a parallel, intersecting PA' at A and PB' at B, and having its centre at ; draw lines OA, OB, O'A', O'B', O'A, and O'P. p r The number of geographical miles* in AB is called the departure between A and B. By geometry, arc A'B' . arc AB O'A' , OA O'A . OA ' sec O'AO. Whence, arc A'B'= arc AB x sec A' O'A. That is, difference of longitude between A and B = departure between A and B x sec lat. A. Ex. A vessel whose position is lat. 25° 20' N., Ion. 36° 10' W., sails due west 140 geographical miles. Find the longitude of the position reached. Here, diff. long. = 140 sec 25° 20'. log 140 = 2. 1461 log sec 25° 20' = 0.0439 Then, 2. 1900 = log 154.9. longitude = 36° 10' + 154.9' = 38° 44.0' W. If a vessel sails from a position whose latitude and longitude are known, due west or due east, until it is in a certain longitude, and the distance in geographical miles is required, it follows from the above that departure = diff. long.t x cos latitude. * A geographical mile is a minute of arc on the equator, t In geographical miliw. In all cases hereafter in which the word "mile" is used, it will be understood to mean a geographical mile. 106 Appendix. 107 EXAMPLES. 1. A vessel in lat. 36° 48' N., Ion. 56° 15' W., sails due east 226 miles. Find the longitude of the position reached. 2. A vessel in lat. 48° 54' N., Ion. 10° 55' W., sails due west until it is in Ion. 15° 12' W. Find the number of miles sailed. MIDDLE LATITUDE SAILING. If a vessel sails from A to B in such a man- ner that its path makes the same angle with every meridian that it crosses, it traverses a curve called a rhumb line. Let BC be a parallel drawn through B, meeting the meridian PA at C; then, CA is the difference in latitude between A and B. If the distance traversed is small, we may take ABC as a plane triangle, right-angled at C, having its angle A equal to the course. CB is the departure and AB the distance ; ther. dep. CB = dist. AB x sin A, diff. lat. AC = dist. AB x cos A. If AB is too long to neglect the curvature of the earth, it may be divided into parts, AB, DE, etc., each being of such length that the Fig. 3. curvature of the earth may be neglected in it. Draw parallels DO, EH, etc., meeting meridians PA, PD, etc, at G, H, etc., respectively. Then, ADG, BES, etc., may be regarded as plane triangles, right- angled at G, H, etc., having ZBAG = ZEDS etc. = course. Then, GD + EE + — = AD sin A + DEsin A + ■■■ = (AD + DE + • ••) sin A, Or, total departure = total distance x sin A. Also, AG+ DH+ — = AD cos A + DE cos A + — = (AD + DE+ —)cosA. Or, total diff. lat. = total distance x cos A. io8 Plane Trigonometry. Fig. 4. The above relations may be represented by triangle ABC, right- angled at C, having its sides AB, BC, and CA equal to the distance, departure, and difference of latitude, respectively, and its ZA equal to the course. In Middle Latitude Sailing, we take the total departure as measured on the parallel MN (Fig. 2), midway between the parallels of A and B ; it is evident from the figure that MN is ap- proximately equal to the sum of QD, HE, KF, and LB. (This is sufficiently accurate if the run is not of great length, nor too far away from the equator. ) By the principles of parallel sailing, we have dep. MN = diff. Ion. AB x cos lat. M. The latitude of M is one-half the sum of the latitudes of A and B j this is called the middle latitude. Then, dep. = diff. Ion. x cos middle lat. This may be represented graphically by an- nexing to Fig. 4 the right triangle BCD, having its hypotenuse BD equal to the difference of longitude, and its angle GBD equal to the mid- dle latitude. Any problem in middle latitude sailing may be solved by constructing a figure, as above, and noting what is given and required ; the letter A should be at the starting-point of the vessel. Ex. A ship, in lat. 42° 30' N. , Ion. 68° 51' "W. , sails S. 33° 45' E. 300 miles. Find the latitude and longitude of the position reached. Here, A = 33° 45', AB = 300. Then, diff. lat. AC = 500 cos 33° 45'. log 300 = 2.4771 log cos 33° 45' = 9.9198 - 10 2.3969 = log 249.4. Then, lat. = 42° 30' - 249.4' * = 38° 20. 6' N. mid. lat. = \ (42° 30' + 38° 20.6') = 40° 25.3'. diff. Ion. BD = BC x sec mid. lat. = 300 sin 33° 45' sec 40° 25.3'. Fig. S. Fig. 6. * A geographical mile is equal to a minute of latitude. Appendix. 109 log 300 = 2.4771 log sin 33° 45' = 9. 7448 - 10 log sec 40° 25.3'= 0.1185 2.3404 = log 219. Then, Ion. = 58° 51' - 219' = 55° 12' W. EXAMPLES. 1. A ship in lat. 26° 15' >'., Ion. 61° 43' W., sails N.W. 253 miles. Find the latitude and longitude of the position reached. 2. A ship sails from a, position whose lat. is 49° 56' N., Ion. 15° 16' W., to another whose lat. is 47'18'X., Ion. 20° 10' W. Find the course and distance. (The difference in latitude and difference in longitude (in miles) are known, and the middle latitude.) 3. A vessel in lat. 37° >"., Ion. 32° 16' "W. , sails N. 36° 56' W., and is in lat. 41° N. Find the distance and the longitude of the position reached. 4. A ship in lat. 42° 30' N., Ion. 58° 51' W., sails, in a direction between south and east, until her departure is 163 miles and her lati- tude 38° 22' N. Find her course and distance and the longitude of the position reached. 5. A vessel in lat. 47°44'N., Ion. 32° 44' W., sails 171 miles, in a direction between north and east, until her latitude is 50° 2' N. Find her course and the longitude of the position reached. 6. What is the course and distance in sailing from Pemambuco (lat. 3° 27' S., Ion. 34° 50' W.) to the Cape of Good Hope (lat. 34° 23 S., Ion. 18°29'E.)? 7. A ship in lat. 47° 15' N., Ion. 20° 48' W., sails, in a direction be- tween south and west, 208 miles, until the departure is 162 miles. Find the course and the latitude and longitude of the position reached. 8. A vessel in lat. 51° 16' S., Ion. 34° 13' E., sails B.N.E. until the departure is 156 miles. Find the distance sailed and the latitude and longitude of the position reached. TRAVERSE SAILING. In Traverse Sailing, a vessel sails from one position to another on two or more different courses. The path which it follows is called a traverse. Each portion of the traverse is worked out independently and the results combined. no Plane Trigonometry. Ex. A vessel sails from a position in lat. 23° 20' N., Ion. 64° 30' W., E.N.E. 135 miles, and then S. by E. 148 miles. Find the latitude and longitude of the position reached and its bearing and distance from the starting-point. Proceeding in the same manner as in the illustrative example in middle latitude sailing, we find that, on the first course, the position reached is in lat. 26° 11.66' N., Ion. 62° 11.5' W. In the same manner we find that, on the second course, the position reached is in lat. 23° 46.66' N., Ion. 61° 39.65' W. Then, as in Ex. 3 under middle latitude sailing, we find that, if sailing from lat. 25° 20' N., Ion. 64° 30' W., to lat. 23° 46.56' N., Ion. 61°39.65' W., the course would be S. 58° 54.3' E., and the distance 180.9 miles. (The traverse would not be worked out by the principles of middle latitude sailing unless its parts were of such length that the curvature of the earth could not be neglected.) EXAMPLES. 1. A vessel in lat. 21° 45' S., Ion. 73° 10' E., sails S.W. by S. 158 miles, then N.N.W. 172 miles. Find the latitude and longitude of the position reached and its bearing and distance from the starting-point. 2. A ship in lat. 39° N., Ion. 42° 30' W., sails N. 15° 23' E. 161 miles, then S. 72° 14' E. 186 miles, then S. 48° 42' W. 195 miles. Find the latitude and longitude of the position reached and its bearing and distance from the starting-point. ANSWERS. Parallel Sailing. — 1. 51° 32.7' W. 2. 168.9. Middle Latitude Sailing. — 1.

SPHERICAL TRIGONOMETRY. oXKo IX. GEOMETRICAL PRINCIPLES. 115. If a triedral angle be formed, with its vertex at the centre of a sphere, it intercepts on the surface a spherical triangle. The triangle is bounded by three arcs of great circles, called its sides, which measure the face angles of the tri- edral angle. The angles of the spherical triangle are the spherical angles formed by the adjacent sides ; and each is equal to the angle between two straight lines drawn, one in the plane of each of its sides, perpendicular to the intersection of these planes at the same point. The sides of a spherical triangle are usually expressed in degrees. 116. A spherical triangle is called right when it has a right angle ; quadrantal when it has one side a quadrant. 117. Spherical Trigonometry treats of the trigonometric relations between the sides and angles of a spherical tri- angle. The face and diedral angles of the triedral angle are not altered by varying the radius of the sphere ; and hence the relations between the sides and angles of a spherical triangle are independent of the length of the radius. Ill 1 1 1 Spherical Trigonometry. 118. We shall limit ourselves in the present work to such triangles as are considered in Geometry, where each angle is less than two right angles, and each side less than the semi-circumference of a great circle; that is, where each element is less than 180°. 119. The proofs of the following properties of spherical triangles may be found in any treatise on Solid Geometry : 1. Any side of a spherical triangle is less than the sum of the other two sides. 2. The sum of the sides of a spherical triangle is less than 360°. 3. The sum of the angles of a spherical triangle is greater than 180°, and less than 540°. 4. If A'JB'C is the polar triangle of spherical triangle ABC, that is, if A, B, and C are poles of sides B'C, CA', and A'B', respectively, then ABC is the polar triangle of spherical triangle A B'C. 5. In two polar triangles, each angle of one is measured by the supplement of that side of the other of which it is the pole ; that is, a' = 180° -A. b' = 180° - B. c' = 180° - O. A' = 180° - a. B' = 180° -b. C = 180° - c. 6. If two angles of a spherical triangle are unequal, the sides opposite are unequal, and the greater side lies opposite the greater angle ; conversely, if two sides of a spherical triangle art unequal, the angles opposite are unequal, and the greater angle lies opposite the greater side. Geometrical Principles. ii 120. A spherical triangle is called tri-rectangular when it has three right angles ; each side is a quadrant, and each vertex is the pole of the opposite side. 121. I. Let C be the right angle of right spherical tri- angle ABC, and suppose a < 90° and b < 90°. Complete the tri-rectangular triangle A'B'C; also, since B' is the pole of AC, and A 1 of BC, construct the tri- rectangular triangles AB'D and A'BE. Then since B lies within triangle AB'D, AB or c is < 90°. Since BC is < B'C, ZAis 90°. B Complete the lune ABAC. Then in right triangle ABC, AC =180" - b. That is, sides a and AC of triangle ABC are each < 90°j and by I., A'B and angles A' and ABC are each < 90°. But, c = 180° - AB, A = A, and B = 180° - ABC. Whence, c is > 90°, A < 90°, and B > 90°. 114. Spherical Trigonometry. Similarly, if a is > 90° and b < 90°, then c is > 90° k A > 90°, and B < 90°. III. Suppose a > 90' and b > 90°. ,3 B Complete the lune AGBC. Then in right triangle ABC, AC = 180° - b, and BC = 180° - a. That is, sides AC and BC of triangle ABC are each <90°; and by L, AB and angles BAG' and ABC are each < 90°. But, A = 180° - 5.4(7, and S = 180° - ABC. Whence, c is < 90°, A > 90°, and B > 90°. Hence, in any right spherical triangle : 1. If the sides about the right angle are in the same quad- rant, the hypotenuse is < 90° ; if they are in different quad- rants, the hypotenuse is > 90°. 2. An angle is in the same quadrant as its opposite side. 122. In the figure of § 119, we have, by § 119, 1, a' < V + c'. Putting for a', b', and c' the values given in § 119, 5, we have 180° - A < 180° - B + 180° - C, or B + C-A<180°. Again, by § 118, B + C+ 180° > A. Whence, B+G-A is >- 180°. Therefore, B + C - A is between 180° and — 180°. Similarly, G+A — B and A + B— G are between 180* and - 180°. Right Spherical Triangles. "5 X. RIGHT SPHERICAL TRIANGLES. 123. Let Cbe the right angle of right spherical triangle ABC, and the centre of the sphere. Draw radii OA, OB, and 00. At any point A' of OA, draw lines A'B' and A'C in planes OAB and OAC, respectively, perpendicular to OA, meeting OB and 00 at B' and C, respectively ; also, draw line B'C. Then, OA is perpendicular to plane A' B'C. Whence, each of the planes A'B'C and OBC is perpen- dicular to plane OAC, and hence B'C is perpendicular to OAC. Therefore, B'C is perpendicular to A'C and OC. By § 115, sides a, b, and c measure angles BOC, COA, and AOB, respectively, and the angle A of the spherical triangle is equal to angle B'A'C. In right triangle OA'B', we have ,, nD , OA' OC „ OA' But in right triangles 05' C and 00'^', 0(7' 0-4' _ = cosa, and _ = cos&. Whence, cos c = cos a cos 6. (69) n6 Spherical Trigonometry.

The proofs of § 123 cannot be regarded as general, for in the construction of the figure we have assumed a and 6, and therefore c and A (§ 121), to be less than 90°. To prove formulae (69) to (73) universally, we must con- sider two additional cases : Case I. When one of the sides a and b is < 90°, and the other > 90°. c B « V In right spherical triangle ABC, let o be < 90° and b > 90°.

Since cos A and tan c are negative, the supplements of the acute angles obtained from the tables must be taken (§ 135). Note 1. When the supplement of the angle obtained from the tables is to be taken, it is convenient to write 180° minus the element in the first member, as shown below in the cases of A and c. By the rule of § 133, the check formula for this case is cos A — — — , or log cos A = log tan b — log tan c. tan c The values of log tan 6 and log tan c may be taken from the first part of the work, and their difference should be equal to the result previously found for log cos A.

Note 3. We observe here a difference of .0001 in the two values of log sin a. This does not necessarily indicate an error in the work, for such a small difference might easily be due to the fact that the logarithms are only approximately correct to the fourth decimal place. 3.

It does not follow, however, that these values can be combined pro- miscuously ; for by § 121, since a is > 90°, with the value of 6 less than 90° must be taken the value of c greater than 90°, and the value of B less than 90° ; while with the value of 6 greater than 90° must be taken the value of c less than 90°, and the value of B greater than 90°. Thus the only solutions are : 1. 6 =21° 3.9', c = 125° 33.3', .8 = 26° 13.5'. 2. 6 = 158° 56.1', c = 54° 26.7', B = 153° 46.5'. Note 4.

We know, by Geometry, that if an arc of a great circle be drawn from the vertex of an isosceles spherical triangle to the middle point of the base, it is perpendicular to the base, bisects the vertical angle, and divides the triangle into two symmetrical right spherical triangles. By solving one of these, we can find the required parts of the given triangle. 1. Given a = 115°, 6 = 115°, 0=71° 40'; find A, B, and c.

OBLIQUE SPHERICAL TRIANGLES. GENERAL PROPERTIES OF SPHERICAL TRIANGLES. 139. In any spherical triangle, the sines of the sides are proportional to the sines of their opposite angles. Let ABC be any spherical triangle, and draw arc CD per- pendicular to AB. There will be two cases according as CD falls upon AB (Fig. 1), or AB produced (Fig. 2). In right spherical triangle ACD, in either figure, we have by (70), sin CD Also, in Fig. 1, And in Fig. 2, sin .4 : sin 5 = sin b sin CD sin a sin B = sin (180° - CBD) = sin CBD (§ 32) sin CD sma Dividing these equations, we have in either case sin CD sin A sin 6 sin a sin B sin CD sin 6 (79) sma In like manner, sin B sin C sin b sine id sin .4 sin a sinC sine Oblique Spherical Triangles. 133 (80) (81) 140. In any spherical triangle, the cosine of any side is equal to the product of the cosines of the other two sides, plus the continued product of tJieir sines and tlie cosine of their included angle. In right spherical triangle BCD, in Mg. 1, § 139, we have, by (69), cos a = cos BD cos CD = cos (c — AD) cos CD. And in Fig. 2, cos a = cos BD cos CD = cos (AD — c) cos CD. Then in either case, by (12), cos a = cos c cos AD cos CD + sin c sin AD cos CD. But in right spherical triangle ACD, by (69), cos AD cos CD = cos b. COS & Also, sin AD cos CD = sin AD j-p; = cos tan .41). ' cos AD sin& sin 6 But, since tan = r, cos — - — r- ' cos 6 tan tan 4.Z) Then, sin AD cos CD = sin 6 — - — j- = sin b cos .4, by (71). "Whence, cos a = cos b cos c + sin 6 sin c cos A. (82) In like manner, cos b = cos c cos a + sin c sin a cos 5, (83) and cos c = cos a cos b + sin a sin b cos C (84) 134 Spherical Trigonometry. 141. Let ABC and A'B'O be a pair of polar triangles. Applying formula (82) to triangle A'B'C, we obtain cos a' = cos b' cos c' + sin 6' sin c' cos A'. Putting for a', V, c', and A! the values given in § 119, 5, cos (180° - A) = cos (180° - B) cos (180° - G) + sin (180° - B) sin (180° - C) cos (180° - a). Whence, by § 32, — cos A = (— cos B) (— cos C) + sin B sin C(— cos a). That is, cos A = — cos -B cos O + sin JB sin C cos a. (83) Similarly, cos B = — cos (7 cos ^4 + sin C sin .4 cos 6, (86) and cos C = — cos J. cos B + sin .4 sin B cos c. (87) The above proof illustrates a very important application of the theory of polar triangles in Spherical Trigonometry. If any relation has been found between the elements of a spherical triangle, an analogous relation may be derived from it, in which each side or angle is replaced by the opposite angle or side, with suitable modifications in the algebraic signs. 142.

SOLUTION OF OBLIQUE SPHERICAL TRIANGLES. 148. In the solution of oblique spherical triangles, we may distinguish six cases : 1. Given a side and the adjacent angles. 2. Given two sides and their included angle. 3. Given the three sides. 4. Given the three angles. 5. Given two sides atid the angle opposite to one of them. 6. Given two angles and the side opposite to one of them. By application of the principles of § 119, 5, the solution of an example unaer Case 2, 4, or 6, may be made to depend upon the solution of an example under Case 1, 3, or 5, respectively ; and rice versa. Hence, it is not essential to consider more than three cases in the solution of oblique spherical triangles. The student must carefully bear in mind the remarks ,made in §§ 134 and 135. 149. Case I. Given a side and the adjacent angles. 1. Given A = 70°, £ = 131° 20', c = 116°; find a, b, and C.

Given .4 = 135°, 0=51°, & = 69°- 5. Given A = 147° 30', £ = 163° 10', c = 76°20'. (For additional examples under Case I., see § 155.) Oblique Spherical Triangles. 143 150. Case II. Given two sides and their included angle: 1. Given 6=137° 20', c=116°, .4=70°; find B, C, and a.

Then, B = K-B+G)+K-B-C , ) = 1 31°17.4', and C = K-B + C) - £(-B - C) = 94° 48.4'.

Note. The triangle is possible for any values of the given elements EXAMPLES. Solve the following spherical triangles : 2. Given a = 64°, b = 34°, C = 48°. 3. Given 6 = 42°, c = 96°, ^ = 110° t44 Spherical Trigonometry. 4. Given a = 146°, c = 69°, B = 125°. 5. Given a = 90° 50', 6 = 117° 50', C = 120°. (For additional examples under Case II., see § 165.) 151. Case III. Given the three sides. The angles may be calculated by the formulae of § 142. If all the angles are to be computed, the tangent formulas are the most convenient, since only four different angles occur in the second members. If but one angle is required, the cosine formula involves the least work. The triangle is possible for any values of the data, pro- vided that no side is greater than the sum of the other two, and that the sum of the sides is less than 360° (§ 119, 1 and 2). If all the angles are required, and the tangent formulae are used, it is convenient to modify them as follows. By (9i), tan }.

Given a = 58°, 6 = 138°, c = 116°; find A. (For additional examples under Case III., see § 155.) 152. Case IV. Given the three angles. The sides may be calculated by the formulae of § 143. If all the sides are to be computed, the tangent formulae are the most convenient, since only four different angles occur in the second members. If but one angle is required, the sine formula involves the least work. The triangle is possible for any values of the data, pro- vided that the sum of the angles is between 180° and 540° (§ 119, 3), and that each of the quantities B+G—A, C + A-B, and A + B-C is between 180° and -180° (§ 122). For such values of the angles, S is between 90° and 270°, and each of the quantities S — A, S —B, and S — G between 90° and - 90°. 146 Spherical Trigonometry. Then, cos S is — , while the cosines of S — A, 8 — B, and S - C are + (§ 21). Hence, the expressions under the radical signs in the formulae are essentially positive, and no attention need be paid to the algebraic signs. If all the sides are required, and the tangent formulae are used, it is convenient to modify them as follows : By (103), taaia= JIZZ oosS^(S-A) ' * V cos (S - A) cos (S-B) cos (S-C) = aos (S-A)yj- cos 8 cos (JS -A)cos (8 - B) cos (S - C) Den ° ting ^- M(8-A) 6, A must be>5. Oblique Spherical Triangles. 149 Hence, only those values of A can be retained which are greater or less than B according as a is greater or less than b. Thus, in Ex. 1, a is given < b ; and since both values of A are < B, we have two solutions. Again, if the data are such as to make log sin A positive, there will be no solution corresponding. 2. Given a = 58°, c = 116°, C=94°50'; find A. In this case, sln = 5S*, or sin A = sin o esc c sin C. sin C sin c log sin a =9.9284-10 log esc c =0.0463 log sin C = 9.9985 -10 log sin ^4 = 9.9732 -10 A = 70° 5.0' or 109° 55.0'. Since a is given < c, only values of A which are < C can be re- tained ; then the only solution is A = 70° 5.0'. 3.

Since both values of C are > B, while c is given < 6, there is no solution. EXAMPLES. Solve the following spherical triangles : 4. Given a = 29°, 6 = 14°, ^4 = 49°. 5.

To find c and C, we have by §§ 144 and 146, tan J c = sin J (B + A) esc \ (B — A) tan \ (6 — a), and cot £ C = sin J. (6 + a) esc J (6 — a) tan J (B — .4) . Using the first value of a, i(b + a)= 97° 40.6', and J (6 - o) = 39° 39.4'. Also, $(B + A)= 120° 40', and J (B - A) = 10° 40'. log sin \(B + A) = 9.9346 - 10 log sin \ (6 + a) = 9.9961 - 10 log esc i (B - A) = 0. 7326 log cso J (6 - a) = 0. 1951 log tan J (6 - a) = 9.9185 - 10 log tan \ (B - A) = 9.2750 - 10 log tan J c = 0. 5857 log cot £ C = 9. 4662 - 10 £c = 75°26.9'. \ C = 73° 41.5'. c = 150° 53.8'.

Oblique Spherical Triangles. 151 log sin \ (B + A) = 9.9346 - 10 log sin J (& + a) = 9.8865 - 10 log esc 1 (B - A) = 0.7326 log esc \ (6 - a) = 0.8742 log tan \ (6 - a) = 9. 1297 - 10 log tan \ {B - A) = 9.2750 - 10 log tan J c = 9.7969 - 10 log cot J C = 0.0357 £c = 32°3.9'. $C = 42°38.8'. c = 64° 7.8'.

In examples in Case VI., as in Case V., there may some- times be two solutions, sometimes only one, and sometimes none. As in Case V., only those values of a can be retained which are greater or less than b according as A is greater or less than B. Also, if log sin a is positive, the triangle is impossible. EXAMPLES.

Shortest Distance between Two Points on the Sur- face of the Earth. In problems concerning navigation, the earth may be regarded as a sphere. The shortest distance between any two points on the sur- face is the arc of a great circle which joins them ; the angles between this arc and the meridians of the points determine the hearings of the points from each other.

This table (pages 12 and 13) gives the mantissae of the logarithms of all integers from 100 to 1000, calculated to four places of decimals. To find the Logarithm op a Number of Three Figures. Look in the column headed " No." for the first two signifi. cant figures of the given number. Then the required mantissa will be found in the corre- sponding horizontal line, in the vertical column headed by the third figure of the number. Finally, prefix the characteristic in accordance with the rules of §§ 66 or 67. For example, log 168 =2.2253; log .0344 = 8.5366 - 10 ; etc. For a number consisting of one or two significant figures, the column headed may be used. Thus, let it be required to find log 83 and log 9. By § 80, log 83 has the same mantissa as log 830, and log 9 the same mantissa as log 900. Hence, log 83 = 1.9191, and log 9 = 0.9542. To find the Logarithm of a Number of more than Three Figures. Ex. 1. Required the logarithm of 327.6. From the table, log 327 = 2.5145, and log 328 = 2.5159. 2 Use of the Tables. That is, an increase of one unit in the number produces an increase of .0014 in the logarithm. Therefore, an increase of .6 of a unit in the number will produce an increase of .6 x .0014 in the logarithm, or .0008 to the nearest fourth decimal place. Hence, log 327.6 = 2.5145 + .0008 = 2.5153. Note I. The above method is based on the assumption that the differences of logarithms are proportional to the differences of their corresponding numbers ; which, though not strictly accurate, is suffi- ciently exact for practical purposes. Note II. The difference between any mantissa in the table and the mantissa of the next higher number of three figures, is called the tabu- lar difference. The subtraction may be performed mentally. The following rule is derived from the above : Find from the table the mantissa of the first three significant figures, and the tabular difference. Multiply the latter by the remaining figures of the number with a decimal point before them. (See Note III.) Add the result to the mantissa of the first three significant figures, and prefix the proper characteristic. Note III. In finding the correction to the nearest unit's figure, the decimal portion should be omitted provided that, if it is .5 or more than .5, the unit's figure is increased by 1. Thus, 13.26 would be taken as 13 ; 30.5 as 31 ; 22.803 as 23. Ex. 2. Find the logarithm of .021508. Mantissa 215 = 3324 Tabular difference = 21 2 _M 3326 Correction = 1.68 = 2, nearly. Eesult, 8.3326 - 10. To FIND THE NUMBER CORRESPONDING TO A LOGARITHM, Ex. 1. Required the number whose logarithm is 1.6571. Find in the table the mantissa 6571. Use of the Tables. 3 In the corresponding line, in the column headed " No.," we find 45, the first two figures of the required number, and at the head of the column we find 4, the third figure. Since the characteristic is 1, there must be two places to the left of the decimal point (§ 66). Hence, the number corresponding to 1j6571 is 45.4. Ex. 2. Eequired the number whose logarithm is 2.3934. We find in the table the mantissse 3927 and 3945, whose corresponding numbers are 247 and 248, respectively. That is, an increase of 18 in the mantissa produces an increase of one unit in the number corresponding. Therefore, an increase of 7 in the mantissa will produce an increase of -fa of a unit in the number, or A, nearly. Hence, the number corresponding is 247 + .4, or 247.4. The following rule is derived from the above : Find from the table the next less mantissa, the three figures corresponding, and the tabular difference. Subtract the next less from the given mantissa, and divide the remainder by the tabular difference. (See Note V.) Annex the quotient to the first three figures of the number, and point off the result. (See Note IV.) Note IV. The rules for pointing oft are the reverse of the rules for characteristic given in §§ 66 and 67. 1. If —10 is not written after the mantissa, add 1 to the character- istic, giving the number of places to the left of the decimal point. 2. If — 10 is written after the mantissa, subtract the positive part of the characteristic from 9, giving the number of ciphers to be placed between the decimal point and first significant figure. Ex. 3. Find the number whose logarithm is 8.5265 — 10 5265 Next less mantissa = 5263 ; three figures corresponding, 336. Tabular difference = 13)2.00(.15 = .2, nearly. 13 70 4 Use of the Tables. By the rule of Note IV., there will be one cipher between the decimal point and first significant figure. Hence, the number corresponding = .03362. Note V. The correction can usually be depended upon to one decimal place ; the division should be carried out to two decimal places in order to determine the last figure accurately. (See Note III.) II. USE OF THE TABLE OF LOGARITHMIC SINE COSINES, ETC. This table (pages 14 to 19) gives the logarithms of the sines, cosines, tangents, and cotangents of all angles at inter- vals of 10 minutes from 0° to 90°. For angles between 0° and 45°, the degrees and minutes will be found in the left-hand column, and the functions in the columns designated by the names at the top; that is, sines in the first column, cosines in the second, tangents in the third, and cotangents in the fourth. For angles between 45° and 90°, the degrees and minutes will be found in the right-hand column, and the functions in the columns designated by the names at the foot; that is, cosines in the first column, sines in the second, cotangents in the third, and tangents in the fourth. If only the mantissa of the logarithm is found, the charac- teristic may be determined from the nearest logarithm in the same column in which the characteristic is given. Since the sines and cosines of all acute angles, the tan- gents of angles between 0° and 45°, and the cotangents of angles between 45° and 90°, are less than unity, the charac- teristics of their logarithms have been increased by 10, and — 10 must be written after the mantissa; in all other cases. the true value of the characteristic is given in the table. Thus, log sin 38° 30' = 9.7941 - 10 ; log tan 65° 20' = 0.3380; log cot 79° 10' = 9.2819 - 10; log cos 89° 40' = 7.7648 - 10 ; etc. Use of the Tables. 5 To fixd the Logarithmic Slxe, Co>r\~E.

To find the Acute Angle corresponding to a gives Logarithmic Sine, Cosine, Tangent, or Cotangent. Take from the table, if sine or tangent the next less, if cosine or cotangent the next greater, logarithmic function, the angle corresponding, and the difference for V. (See Note IX.) Find the difference between the given logarithm and that taken from the table, and divide it by the difference for V, giving the correction in minutes. Add the result to the angle corresponding to the next less, or next greater, function. Note IX. In searching for the next less (or greater) logarithm, attention must be paid to the fact that the functions are found in different columns according as the angle is below or above 45°. If, for example, the next less logarithmic sine is found in the column with "Sin." at the top, the angle corresponding must be taken from the left-hand column ; but if it is found in the column with '• Sin." at the foot, the angle corresponding must be taken from the right-hand column. Similar considerations hold with respect to the other three functions. Ex. 1. Find the angle whose log sin = 9.9594 — 10. 9.9594 - 10 Next less log sin = 9.9590 — 10 ; angle corresponding = 65° 30'. D. V = .6)4.0(6.66 = 6.7, nearly. Adding the correction, the result is 65° 36.7'. Ex. 2. Find the angle whose log cot = 0.1696. Next greater log cot = 0.1710 ; angle corresponding = 34° 0' 0.1696 D. V = 2.7)14.0(5.18 = 13 5 = 5.2 , nearly. 60 27 230 Result, 34° 5.3', Use of the Tables. 7 To find the Logarithmic Secant or Cosecant of any Acute Angle. 1 1 Since sec x = and esc x = , we have by § 85, cos a; sin a; log see x = colog cos x, and log esc x = colog sin x. Hence, to find the logarithmic secant, subtract the logarith- mic cosine from 10 — 10; and to find the logarithmic cosecant, subtract the logarithmic sine from 10 — 10. Ex. Find log sec 22° 38'. From the table, log cos 22° 38' = 9.9652 - 10 Subtracting from 10 — 10, we have log sec 22° 38' = 0.0348. Note X. The logarithmic cotangent of an angle may be obtained by subtracting the logarithmic tangent from 10 — 10. To find the Logarithmic Functions of an Angle not LYING BETWEEN THE LlMITS 0° AND 90°. By § 34, any function of any angle may be expressed as a function of a certain acute angle ; and hence the table of the functions of acute angles serves to determine the functions of angles of any magnitude whatever, positive or negative. Ex. Find log sin 152° 16'. By § 34, sin 152° 16' = cos 62° 16'. Then, log sin 152° 16' = log cos 62° 16' = 9.6678 - 10. Another method would be to find the logarithmic sine of 27° 44', the supplement of 152° 16' (§ 32). Note XI. If the natural function is negative, as for example in the case of the cosine of an angle between 90° and 180°, there is no logarithmic function, strictly speaking. (See Note before § 87.) In solving examples involving such functions, we proceed as if tha functions were positive, and determine the algebraic sign of the result irrespective of the logarithmic work. Illustrations of this will be found Chapters X. and XI. 8 Use of the Tables. m. USE OF THE TABLE OP NATURAL SINES AND COSINES. This table (pages 20 and 21) gives the natural values of the sines and cosines of all angles at intervals of 10 minutes from 0° to 90°, calculated to four places of decimals. Its use is similar to that of the table of logarithmic func- tions, except that the tabular differences for V are not given, but are to be calculated from the table when required. Ex. 1. Find sin 48° 52'. The difference between sin 48° 50' and sin 49° 0' is .0019, one-tenth Of which is .00019. sin 48° 50' = .7528 D. V = 1.9 4 2 .7532, Am. Corr. = 3.8 = 4, nearly. Ex. 2. Find the angle whose cos = .5506. The difference between the next greater and next less functions, .5519 and .5495, is .0024 ; one-tenth of which is .00024. Next greater cos = .5519 ; angle corresponding = 56° {JO*. .5506 D. V =2.4)13.0(5.41 = 5.4, nearly. 12 100 96 40 Result, 66° 35.4'. IV. USE OP THE TABLE OF NATURAL TANGENTS AND COTANGENTS. This table (pages 22 and 23) gives the tangents and cotangents of all angles at intervals of 10 minutes from J to 90° ; its use is similar to that of the table of natural sinea and cosines. Use of the Tables. $ V. MORE ACCURATE METHOD FOR FTSDnvG THE LOGARITHMIC FTTXCTIOXS OF ANGLES JJEAR TO 0° OR iXl°. Ir was stared in Xote TIL. page 5. that in general the differences of the logarithmic functions are approximately proportional to the differences of their corresponding augles. It •will be seen from the table that this is not the case with the logarithmic sines, tangents, and cotangents of angles near to 0°. nor with The logarithmic cosines, tangents, and cotangents of angles near to iX>*. Tims, the difference for 1' in the case of the logarithmic sine or tangent of an angle between 40' and o0' is 96.9, while for an angle between o0' and 1° ir is 79... A very accurate method for finding The logarithmic sine or tangent of an angle near to s , or the logarithmic cosine or cotangent of an angle near to 90^. is to first calculate the natural function by aid of the Table of natural sines and cosines, or of natural tangents and cotangents, and then find the logarithm of the result. To find the angle corresponding in similar cases, find the number corresponding to the logarithmic function, and then. by aid of the tables of natural functions, calculate the angle corresponding to the result- Ex. 1. Find log sin 3 «hV. From the table of natural sines and cosines, we obtain natural sin (P -xV = .01tX!??. VThenee, log an CP 56' = S.2119 - 10. Tbts iw-r.lt is correct to the last place of decimals ; by the ordinary method we siouid have obtained 5.2102 — 10. Ex. 2. Find the angle whose log tan = $.0302 — 10. The number c orresponding to this logarithm is .01072. from the table of natural tangents a;-.d cotangents, the angle ■siiass natural tangent is .01072 is .iV.So'. IO Use of the Tables. This is correct to the last place of decimals ; the ordinary method would have given 37.15'. Note XII. To find with accuracy the log cotangent of an angle near to 0°, find the log tangent of the angle by the above method, and then subtract the result from 10 — 10. (See Note X., page 7.) To find the angle corresponding to a log cotangent in a similar case, find the log tangent of the angle (Note X.), and then find the angle corresponding as above. Note XIII. To find the log tangent of an angle near to 90°, find the log tangent of its complement, and subtract the result from 10 — 10. (See Note XII.) To find the angle corresponding in a similar case, find the angle corresponding to its cologarithm, and take the complement of the result. Note XIV. The more accurate method should be employed in finding the log sines, tangents, or cotangents of angles between 0° and 5°, or the log cosines, tangents, or cotangents of angles between 85" and 90°, and the angles corresponding in similar cases. For angles between 5° and 85° the ordinary method is sufficiently exact. FOUR PLACE LOGARITHMIC TABLES 12 LOGARITHMS OF NUMBERS.
