A sequel to the first six books of the Elements of Euclid, containing an easy introduction to modern geometry, with numerous examples. By John Casey.

ADDITIONAL PROPOSITIONS AND EXERCISES. 163 125. If r be the radius of the inscribed circle of a triangle ABC, and p the radius of a circle touching the circumscribed circle internally and the sides AB, AC; then p cos2 'A = r. 126. Prove the corresponding relation p' cos2 'A = r' for the ease of external contact. 127. Prove by inversion the equality of the two circles in Prop. 8, Cor. 4, p. 32. 128. If AB, CD be the diameters of two circles, and be also segments of the same line, prove that the two circles are equal which touch respectively the circles on AB, CD; their radical axis on opposite sides, and any circle whose centre is the middle point of AD.-(STEINER.) 129. Given three points, A, B, C, and three multiples, I, m, n, find a point 0 such that IAO + mBO + nCO may be a minimum. 130. If A, B, C, D be any four points connected by four circles, each passing through three of the points, then not only is the angle at A between the arcs ABC, ADC equal to the angle at C between CDA, CBA, but it is also equal to the angle at D between the arcs DAB, DCB; and to the angle at B between BCD, BAD.-(HAMILTON.) 131. If A, B, C be the escribed circles of a triangle, and if A', B', C' be three other circles touching ABC as follows, viz. each of them touching two of the former exteriorly, and one interiorly; then A', B', C' intersect in a common point P, and the lines of connexion at P with the centres of the circles are perpendicular to the sides of the triangle. 132. The line of collinearity of the middle points of the diagonals of a complete quadrilateral is perpendicular to the line of collinearity of the orthocentres of the four triangles. 133. The sines of the angles which the line of collinearity of the middle points of the diagonals of a complete quadrilateral makes with the sides are proportional to the diameters of the circles described about its four triangles. 134. If r, p be the radii of two concentric circles, and R the radius of a third circle (not necessarily concentric), so related to them that a triangle described about the circle r may be inscribed in R, and a quadrilateral about p may be inscribed in R: then rip + p/R = p/r.
