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

40 Connecting Sides and Angles of a Spherical Triangle. Cor. —If we change cos to sin in the expression for tan 2 (a - b) we get that for tan f (a + b). The theorems contained in the equations (157)-(160) may be expressed as proportions, and are called NAPIER'S ANALOGIES, after their discoverer. It may be remarked that the last pair can be got from the first by means of the polar triangle; also that the second and fourth may be inferred from the first and third by multiplying them respectively by the equation tan (A - B) tan 2 (a - b) tan (ZA + B) tan (a + )' Several proofs of these important theorems are known, but the foregoing are probably the simplest. EXERCISES.-VIII. 1. Show that cos a sin b = sin a cos b cos C + cos A sin c. (161) Multiply equation (61) by sin a, and replace sin a cot sin C by cos A sin c. 2. Prove that sin C cos a = cos A sin B + sin A cos B cos C. (162) SECTION IV.-THIRD CLASS. Formulae containing Six Elements. 42. DELAMBRE'S AN&LOGIES.-1~. To prove sin (A + B) cos(a - b) cos 6 C cos c DEM.-sin (A + B) = sin A cos s B + cos A- sin } B; and substituting for sin A, cos }A, &c., their values from ~~ 26, 27, we get sin (+ B) - sin(s-b) +sin(s -a)sins.sin(s-) sin c sin a. sin b Hence sin(A+B) sin(s-b)+sin(s-a) coso(a-b) (16 cos C sin = (163) cos 4 C sin c cos -<
