Página 77 - Any two sides of a triangle are together greater than the third side. Let ABC be a triangle ; any two sides of it together are greater than the third side, viz., the sides BA, AC, greater than the side BC ; and AB, BC, greater than AC , and BC, CA, greater than AB. Produce BA to the point D, and make AD equal to AC ; and join DC.
Página 96 - Continue this process, till a remainder occur, which is contained exactly a certain number of times in the preceding one. Then this last remainder will be the common measure of the proposed lines ; and regarding it as unity, we shall easily find the values of the preceding remainders ; and at last, those of the two proposed lines, and hence their ratio in numbers. Suppose, for instance, we find GB to be contained exactly twice in FD ; BG will be the common measure of the two proposed lines. Put BG...

From whence this important consequence is derived, that the Moon's mean motion and the greatest quantities of the several equations, will remain unchanged, unless disturbed by the intervention of some foreign or accidental cause These tracts are inscribed to the Karl of Maccleslield, President of the Royal Society.
Página 20 - ... in a course of infallible certainty and security. Each of these hasty glances must possess the clearness of intuitive evidence, and the certainty of mature reflection; and yet must leave the reasoner's mind entirely free to turn instantly to the next point of his progress. The faculty of performing such mental processes well and readily is of great value, and is in no way fostered by the study of logic.
Página 92 - The angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal to one another; and if the equal sides be produced, the angles -upon the other side of the base shall be equal.
Página 158 - By a line parallel to one of the sides of the triangle. Let ABC be the given triangle, to be divided into two parts, in the ratio of m to n, by a line parallel to the base AB. Make CE to EB as m to n : erect ED perpendicularly to CB, till it meet the semicircle described on CB, as a diameter, in B.
Página 87 - If from a point within a circle more than two equal straight lines can be drawn to the circumference, that point is the centre of the circle.
Página 23 - Four quantities are said to be proportionals, when the first is the same multiple, part, or parts, of the second, that the third is of the fourth.
