192. To solve a triangle when two sides and the angle opposite to one of them are given.

Let a, b, A be given. Then from sin B:

b

=-
α

sin A, we have

log sin B-log b―log a+ log sin A;

whence B may be found;

then C is found from the equation C=180° – A – B.

.. log c=loga+log sin C-log sin A.

If a<b, and A is acute the solution is ambiguous and there will be two values of B supplementary to each other, and also two values of C and c. [Art. 147.]

193. Some formula which are not primarily suitable for working with logarithms may be adapted to such work by various artifices.

194. To adapt the formula c2=a2+b2 to logarithmic compu

tation.

Since an angle can always be found whose tangent is equal

[merged small][ocr errors]

to a given numerical quantity, we may put obtain

=tan 6, and thus

α

c2=a2 (1+tan2 0) = a2 sec2 0 ;

[blocks in formation]

The angle is called a subsidiary angle and is found from the equation

log tan = log b - loga.

Thus any expression which can be put into the form of the sum of two squares can be readily adapted to logarithmic work.

196. When two sides and the included angle are given, we may solve the triangle by finding the value of the third side first instead of determining the angles first as in Art. 189.

Example. If a=3, c=1, B=53° 7′ 48′′ find b; given
