PROBLEM XXV.

To find the fine and cofine of a very small arch, fuch as 1'

A small arch fuch as 1', may be confidered nearly equal to its fine. Suppofe, then, the radius of a circle to be 100000, in which cafe the circumference will be 628318.52; therefore. 628318.52

will quote 29.08, the natural fine of 1'. Since the

60 x 360 fquare of the hypothenuse of a right angled triangle is equal to the fum of the fquares of the legs, therefore from the fquare of

the

the radius fubtract the square of the fine of any arch, and the fquare root of the remainder will be the cofine of that arch.

Thus 10000000000-845.64-99999.9 the cofine of 1' The verfed fine x B may be found by fubtracting the cofine. from the radius.

PROBLEM XXVI.

The fine and cofine of any arch being given, to find the fine and cofine of its double.

RULE.

As the radius is to the cofine of any arch, fo is twice the fine. of that arch to the fine of its double.

In like manner, the fine and cofine of every minute and degree of the quadrant may be found; but when the calculations. are carried on the length of 60°, the fines of the remaining. arches may be found by the following rule:

Take the fine of an arch as much below. 60° as the arch whofe fine is required is above (0°, to which add the fine of the number of degrees that the propofed arch exceeds 60°; the fum will be the fine required.

Ex. 6. What is the fine of 80°?

The fine of no°—20°=40° is 64279.

The fine of 80°-60°-20° is 34202

PROBLEM XXVII.

To find the tangent and cotangent of every minute and degree of the quadrant, the fines and cofines being given.

The tangent and cotangent of any arch may be found by cither of the following proportions:

Because the triangles CED and CBA are fimilar, CD : DE ::.

ÇA: AB, therefore

CD

AB, the tangent of the arch,

EA; that is, the rectangle contained by the fine and radius of any arch, is equal to the rectangle contained by the cofine and tangent of that arch. Hence,

RULE I.

To find the tangent, multiply the fine of any arch by the radius, and divide the product by the cofine, the quotient will be the tangent of that arch.

The cotangent of any arch may be found upon the fame prin

ciples: Thus, CL: LE:: CF: FK; therefore,

hence,

RULE 2. Divide the product of the cofine and radius of any arch by its fine, and the quotient will be the cotangent: or (which is the fame thing) fay, As the fine of any arch is to its co-fine: fo is the radius to the cotangent of that arch.

It is alfo obvious, that AB: AC:: AC: FK, therefore

AB tween the tangent and co-tangent of any arch. Hence, the co-tangent may be found by the following rule

RULE 3. Divide the fquare of the radius by the tangent of any arch, and the quotient will give the co-tangent of that arch.
