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.

216 A SEQUEL TO EUCLID. cos B, cos, C, &c. The circle in this ease is that of Prop. 9, and is called the COSINE, CIRCLE Of the _polygon. 20. If I = m, the line OK will be bisected in 0', and the circle will be concentric with the Brocard circle. This is, by a~nalogy,,called the LEmoiNE CirCLE, of t h e polygon: its Fuis i'> Ia to li sec (o, and the intercept which it makes on the sides are proportional to sin (A - o), sin (B - 0)), ~-c. 30* If I = m tan e), the intercepts are proportional to sin (A -7.n/4), sin (B - 7-/4), sc., and the radius is equal RI sin w cosec (0) ~ r/ 40. If I = m tan2 co. The centre of the circle is the middle point of the line O2&Y, its radius is equal to iRsin o, and the intercepts are proportional to cos (A~ 0), cos (B + o),!~c. These will be the _projections of MY7~ on the sides of the _polygon. 5'* If the polygon reduce to a triangle, and the ratio of I1: m be - cos AcoslB cos C: Il+cos AcosiB cos C, the intercepts are, respectively, equal to ~R sin 2A cos (B - C), ~3 sin 2B cos (C - A), II sin 2C cos (A -B). The perpendiculars from the centre on the sides will be proportional to cos' A, cos' B, cos2 C. This is the case of Taylor's Circle. The ratio I1: m expressed in terms of 0) is sin (A - co) - sin'A: -sin' A. 6'. Any Tucker's circle of the triangle ABC is a Taylor's circle of some other triangle having the same circumcircle and symmedian point. For the Tucker's circle of the triangle ABC being given, the ratio I1: m is given, and from the proportion sin (A - w) - sin3A: sin3A I1: m, we get, putting cot A = x, the equation XI - cot W. x' + X + (1 + 1/rn) cosec ce - cot (O = 0; the three roots of which are the cotangents of the three angles of the required triangle.
