this way. If d be the diameter <strong>of</strong> the sphere, set out two<br />
straight lines x, y such that d, x, y are in the ratio <strong>of</strong> the sides<br />
<strong>of</strong> the regular pentagon, hexagon and decagon respectively<br />
described in one and the same circle. The smaller pair <strong>of</strong><br />
circles have r as radius where v 2 = ^y<br />
2<br />
,<br />
and the larger pair<br />
have r' as radius where r 2 — \x 2 .<br />
(e) In the case <strong>of</strong> the dodecahedron the saw e four parallel<br />
circular sections are drawn as in<br />
the case <strong>of</strong> the icosaheclrori.<br />
Inscribed pentagons set the opposite way are inscribed in the<br />
two smaller circles ; these pentagons form opposite faces.<br />
Regular pentagons inscribed in the larger circles with vertices<br />
at the proper points (and again set the opposite way) determine<br />
ten more vertices <strong>of</strong> the inscribed dodecahedron.<br />
The constructions<br />
are quite different <strong>from</strong> those in Euclid<br />
X<strong>II</strong>I. 13, 15, 14, 16, 17 respectively, where the problem is first<br />
<strong>to</strong> construct the particular regular solid and then <strong>to</strong> 'comprehend<br />
it in a sphere ', i. e. <strong>to</strong> determine the circumscribing<br />
sphere in each case. I have set out Pappus's propositions in<br />
detail elsewhere. 1<br />
Book IV.<br />
At the beginning <strong>of</strong> Book IV the title and preface are<br />
missing, and the first section <strong>of</strong> the Book begins immediately<br />
with an enunciation. The first section (pp. 176-208) contains<br />
Propositions 1-12 which, with the exception <strong>of</strong> Props. 8-10,<br />
seem <strong>to</strong> be isolated propositions given for their own sakes and<br />
not connected <strong>by</strong> any general plan.<br />
Section (1). Extension <strong>of</strong> the theorem <strong>of</strong> Pythagoras.<br />
The first proposition is <strong>of</strong> great interest, being the generalization<br />
<strong>of</strong> Eucl. I. 47, as Pappus himself calls it, which is <strong>by</strong> this<br />
time pretty widely known <strong>to</strong> mathematicians. The enunciation<br />
is as follows.<br />
'If ABC be a triangle and on AB, AC any parallelograms<br />
whatever be described, as ABLE, ACFG, and if DE, FG<br />
produced meet in H and HA be joined, then the parallelograms<br />
ACFG are <strong>to</strong>gether equal <strong>to</strong> the parallelogram<br />
ABDEy<br />

contained <strong>by</strong> BC, HA in an angle which is equal <strong>to</strong> the sum <strong>of</strong><br />
the angles ABC, DHA!<br />
Produce HA <strong>to</strong> meet BC in K, draw BL, CM parallel <strong>to</strong> KH<br />
meeting BE in L and FG in M, and join LNM.<br />
Then BLHA is a parallelogram, and HA is equal and<br />
parallel <strong>to</strong> BL.<br />
Similarly HA, CM are equal and parallel ;<br />
are equal and parallel.<br />
Therefore BLMC is a parallelogram ; and<br />
therefore BL, CM<br />
its angle LBK is<br />
equal <strong>to</strong> the sum <strong>of</strong> the angles ABC, DHA.<br />
Now a ABBE — BLHA, in the same parallels,<br />
= O BLNK, for the same reason.<br />
Similarly ACFG = O jiOAffl' = TOCif.<br />
Therefore, <strong>by</strong> addition, ABDE+C3 ACFG = a 5ZM7.<br />
It has been observed (<strong>by</strong> Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Cook Wilson *) that the<br />
parallelograms on A B, AC need not necessarily be erected<br />
outwards <strong>from</strong> AB, AC. If one <strong>of</strong> them, e.g. that on AC, be<br />
drawn inwards, as in the second figure above, and Pappus's<br />
construction be made, we have a similar result with a negative<br />
sign, namely,<br />
o BLMC = BLNK - o CMTO<br />
Again, if both ABBE and ACFG were drawn inwards, their<br />
sum would be equal <strong>to</strong> BLMC drawn outwards. Generally, if<br />
the areas <strong>of</strong> the parallelograms described outwards are regarded<br />
as <strong>of</strong> opposite sign <strong>to</strong> those <strong>of</strong> parallelograms drawn inwards,<br />
