The elements of non-Euclidean plane geometry and trigonometry, by H. S. Carslaw.

62, 63, 64, 65] TRIGONOMETRICAL FORMULAE 109 If wve insert these values in the Trigonometrical Formulae of ~ 59, we obtain: sinh a = sinh c sin X from sinh c =sinh a cosh 1. sinh b = tanh acot,,, sinh b =tanh asinhlI. coshec = cot Xcotx,, coshe =sinhlIsinh m. cosh c = cosh acosh b,,cosh c =cosh acosh b.. cos X = cosh asin,~,, cosh a tanhlIcosh m. tanh a = tanh c cos u,,tanh a tanh m, tanh c. And the formulae of ~ 60 f or the Oblique-Angled Triangle beoesin ha: sin~h b: sinh c= sin X: sinMA: sin v, cosh a = cosh b cosh- c - sinh b sinh c cos X All1 these results agree with the corresponding formulae in S~pherical Trigonometry, when X, At, v take the Place of A, B, C, and the Hyperbolic Functions of a, b, and c take the place of the circular Functions of a, b, and c. ~ 64. The Angle of Parallelism. Since tanh a cosoL-, we have I1-coscx. 1 -tanha 1 +cosou. 1+tanha' Theref ore tan.2 e -2 and tan ~e -a. The angle u. is acute, so the positive sign has to be taken in extracting the square root. This may be written tan IIIl(p)=e-eP.* ~ 65. The formulae of ~~ 56-64 have been deduced on the understanding that the unit of length employed is the distance between concentric Limiting-Curves when the ratio of the arcs cut off by two of their axes is e. *This result is given by JBolyai, Appendix, ~ 29, and by Lobatschewsky in his various books, e.g. Geometrische Untersuchungen zur Theorie, der Peeralteltinien, ~ 36.
