A treatise on spherical trigonometry, and its application to geodesy and astronomy, with numerous examples. By John Casey.

118 Small Circles on the Sphere. original triangle and incircles of colunar triangles are (b - c), (c- a), (a - b). Hence (see Art. 108) we have 23 = sin (b + c), 3 = sin (c+a), 12 = sin (a+b), 14 = sin (b + c), 24 = sin(c-a), 34 = sin (a +b). Hence the condition (412) is fulfilled. 2. Prove that the mutual power of two cireles is equal to the mutual power of two circles inverse to them. 3. If p, q, r be the normal co-ordinates of a point on the sphere, with respect to the sides of a spherical triangle ABC; prove that they are connected by the relation -1, cos C, cosB, p cos C, -1, cos A, q cos B, cos A, -1, r p, q, r, -1 In the equation (414), Art. 110, let the triangle ABC be replaced by its supplemental triangle, while the point D retains its position. 4. If a, b, c be the mutual distances of the spherical centres of three small circles whose radii are rl, r2, r3; prove that if r be the radius of a circle cutting them orthogonally, 4n2sec2r = 1, cos c, cos b, cos rL cos c, c1, cos a co r cos b, cos a, 1, cos rs cos ri, cos r2, cos r3, 0
