Página 11 - The operation of finding the unknown parts is called the solution of the triangle. 2. A plane angle is measured by the arc of a circle included between its sides; the centre of the circle being at the vertex, and its radius being 1. The circle, for convenience, is divided into 360 equal parts called degrees; 90 of these parts are included in a quadrant, which includes one-quarter of the circle, and is the measure of a right angle. Each degree is further divided into 00 equal parts called minutes,...
