...having discovered the demonstration of the 47th proposition of the first book of Euclid, viz. that in n right angled triangle the square of the hypothenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides. Julius Capito/ linus relates, that when an Hecatomb was to be sacrificed,...

...be found by the Square Root, without finding the Angles ; according to the following PROPOSITION : In every Right Angled Triangle, the Square of the Hypothenuse is equal to the Sum of the Squares of the two Legs. Hence, The Square of the given Leg being subtracted from the Square of the...

...be found by the Square Root, without Finding the Angles ; according to the following PROPOSITION : In every Right Angled Triangle, the Square of the Hypothenuse is equal to the Sum of the Squares of the two Legs. Hence, The Square of the given Leg being subtracted from the Square of the...

...the third side may be found, without the aid of the trigonometrical tables, by the proposition, that the square of the hypothenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two perpendicular sides. (Euc. 47. 1.) If the legs be given, extracting the square root...

...referred to. 94. Other relations of the sine, tangent, Sic. may be derived from the proposition, that the square of the hypothenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the perpendicular sides. (Euc. 47. I.) In the right angled triangles CBG, CAD, and CHF,...

...arc AD B. 4. An angle IAD in a semi'circle is a right angle (EUCLID 31 ./III.) 5. In a right-angled triangle the square of the hypothenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, (EuctiD 47 «/"!.) see also Problem VI. 6. If a perpendicular be drawn...

...observes: •;•• ,'.I asked the Japanese academician whether he was perfectly convinced that in a right angled triangle the square of the hypothenuse is equal to the squares of the other two sides ? He answered in the affirmative. I then asked how they were certain...

...which subtends the right angle. Euclid, lib. i. proposition 47, demonstrates, that in every rectilmear right angled triangle, the square of the hypothenuse is equal to the squares of both the other sides. This celebrated problem was discovered by Pythagoras, who is said...
