SOME VERY REMARKABLE<br />
PROPOSITIONS FOR THE<br />

with wonderfod ease.<br />
To solve a spherical<br />
triangle without dividing it<br />
into two quadrantal or rectangular triangles.<br />
IvEN three sides, to find any angle.<br />
And conversely,<br />
Given three angles, to find any side.<br />
This is best done by <strong>the</strong> three methods<br />
explained in my work on Logarithms, Book II. chap,<br />
VI<br />
sects. 8, 9, 10.<br />
Given <strong>the</strong> side h.T>, & <strong>the</strong> angles<br />
T) & ^, to find <strong>the</strong> side A B.<br />
Multiply <strong>the</strong> sine <strong>of</strong> A D by<br />
<strong>the</strong> sine <strong>of</strong> D ; divide <strong>the</strong> product<br />
by <strong>the</strong> sine <strong>of</strong> B, and you<br />
will have <strong>the</strong> sine <strong>of</strong> A B.<br />
