Página 44 - The difference of an arc from 90 degrees, or a quarter, is called its complement ; thus FC is the complement of CB. The chord of an arc is a line drawn from one extremity of the arc to the other ; thus CK is the chord of the arc CBK. The sine of an arc is a line drawn from one extremity of the arc perpendicular to the diameter passing through the other extremity ; thus CD is the sine of the arc CB, or angle CAB, which it measures ; and CE is the sine of the arc CF, or angle CAF...

Through the centre of a sphere and any two points on the surface a plane can be drawn ; and only one plane can be drawn, except when the two points are the extremities of a diameter of the sphere, and then an infinite number of such planes can be drawn. Hence only one great circle can be drawn through two given points on the surface of a sphere, except when the points are the extremities of a diameter of the sphere. When only one great 'circle can be drawn...

The properties mentioned in the preceding article may be -verified in this series $ thus if we add together the logarithms of 10 and 1000, which are 1 and 3, we perceive, that their sum 4 is found directly under 10000, which is the product of the proposed numbers. 243. The logarithms of the intermediate numbers, between 1 and 10, 10 and 100, 100 and 1000, &c. can be found only by approximation. To obtain, for example, the logarithm of 2, we must resolve the equation (10).r = 2, by the...
