THEOREM XXXIII.

The Sines of the Bafes B A, D A, are in a reciprocal Proportion to the Tangents of the Angles B and D, at the Bafe B D.

Demonftration.

By Theorem 27, we have sBA: RtAC: tB; and by the fame inverfely RsDA::t D:t AC. Then it will be, by Equality of perturbate Ratio, SBA:SDA::t D:t B. Q. E. D.

See Euclid 5. Prop. 23.

THEOREM XXXIV.

The Tangents of the Sides BC, DC, are in a reciprocal Proportion to the Co-fines of the Vertical Angles BCA, DC A.

By Alternation of Theorem 28, tBC: R::tCA: cs BÇA. And by the fame, we have R:cs DCA :: tDC : t CA. Wherefore, by Equality of Perturbate Proportion, tBC:cs DCA::tDC:cs BC A 2. E. D.

THEOREM XXXV.

The Sines of the Sides BC, DC, are proportional to the Sines of the oppofite Angles D, and B.
