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.

BOOK I. 17 but EN = AB, and NK = 2AC; therefore EK2 = AB2 + 4AC2. In like manner FD2 = 4AB2 + AC,; therefore EK2 + FD2 = 5 (AB2 + AC2) = 5BC2. (4). The intercepts AQ, AR are equal. (5). The lines CF, BK, AL are concurrent. SECTION II. EXERCISES. 1. The line which bisects the vertical L of an isosceles A bisects the base perpendicularly. 2. The diagonals of a quadrilateral whose four sides are equal bisect each other perpendicularly. 3. If the line which bisects the vertical L of a A also bisects the base, the A is isosceles. 4. From a given point in one of the sides of a A draw a right line bisecting the area of the A. 5. The sum of the J s from any point in the base of an isosceles A on the equal sides is = to the J from one of the base angles on the opposite side. 6. If the point be taken in the base produced, prove that the difference of the Is on the equal sides is = to the 1 from one of the base angles on the opposite side; and show that, having regard to the convention respecting the signs plus and minus, this theorem is a case of the last. 7. If the base BC of a A be produced to D, the L between the bisectors of the L s ABC, ACD = half L BAC. 8. The bisectors of the three internal angles of a A are concurrent. 9. Any two external bisectors and the third internal bisector of the angles of a A are concurrent. 10. The quadrilaterals formed either by the four external or the four internal bisectors of the angles of any quadrilateral have their opposite L s = two right L s. C
