244 A SEQUEL TO EUCLID. 107. Prove a corresponding property for isotomic conjugates. 108. In fig., p. 207, prove that OS: OS':: cos (C -):cos ( + 109. If AA', BB', CC' be fixed chords of a circle X, and circles cutting X at equal angles be described through the points A, A'; B, B'; C, C', respectively, the locus of their radical centre is a right line. (M'CAY.) 110. Find the locus of a point in the plane of a triangle, which is such that the triangle formed by joining the feet of its perpendiculars may have a given Brocard angle. 111. If the extremities of the base of a triangle be given in position, and also the symmedian passing through one of the extremities, the locus of the vertex is a circle. 112. If through the extremities A, B; B, C; C, D, &c., of the sides of a harmonic polygon circles be described touching the Brocard circle, the contacts being all of the same species, these circles cut the circumcircle at equal angles, and are all tangential to a circle coaxal with the Brocard circle and circumcircle. 113. The radical axis of the circumcircle and cosine circles of a harmonic quadrilateral passes through the symmedian point of the quadrilateral. 114. If the Brocard angles of two harmonic polygons, A, B, be complementary, and if the cosine circle ofA be the circumcircle of B, the cosine circle of B is equal to the circumcircle of A. 115-117. In the same case, if the cosine circle of B coincide with the circumcircle of A; and n, i' be the numbers of sides of the polygons; w, w' their Brocard angles; 8 the diameter of their common Brocard circle; then7r 7r 10. tan c = cos - C- cos -. X n 2~. The Brocard points of A coincide with those of B. 3. 2 COS2 =R2 COS 118. If through the vertices of a harmonic polygon of any number of sides circles be described, cutting its circumcircle and Brocard circle orthogonally, their points of intersection with the
