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

26 Connecting Sides and Angles of a Spherical Triangle. EXERCISES.-IV. 1. If a, b, c be the sides of a spherical triangle, a', b', c' the sides of its supplemental triangle, prove sin a: n: sin c::sin a': sin b': sin c'. (48) 8n3 2. Prove that sinA sinB sin C = s2. si.bin (49) sin2a sm2 b sm2c 3. Prove that tan (A + B): tan (A- B):: tan (a+ b): tan (a-b). (50) 4. Prove that tan (a + a): tan ~ ( - a): tan (B + b): tan (B- b). (51) 5. If the bisector AD of the angle A of a spherical triangle divide the side BC into the segments CD = b', BD = c', prove sin b: sin c:: sin b': sin '. (52) 6. If the bisector of the exterior angle, formed by producing BA through A, meet the base BC in D', and if BD' = c", CD' = b", prove that sin b: sin:: sin b": sin c". (53) 7. Prove that cot A: cot ~ B: cot:: sin (s-a): sin ( - b): sin (s - c). (54) 8. If D be any point in the side BC of a spherical triangle, sin BD sin BAD sin C (55) sin CD = sin CAD sin B' Cor.-If D be the middle point, sin BAD sin B sinb _ - ~~= ~ ~ ~(56) sin CAD sin C sin ce 9. Prove that sin a sin ha = sin b sin hb = sin c sin hc = 2n. (57) 10. Given the base of a spherical triangle and the norm of the sides, prove that the locus of the vertex is a small circle. 11. If mb = m, prove that either b = c, or sin2 a = cos2 b + cos2 ~ c + cos ~ b cos c. 12. If a great circle touch two small circles, whose spherical radii are p, p', and distance between their poles = 8, and if r denote the arc between the points of contact, prove Sin2 rsin2 S - sin2 (p - p') coS p cos p'
