PREFACE 

The  common  examination  syllabus  '  Trigonometry  up 
to  and  including  solution  of  triangles '  has  caused  most 
textbooks  to  treat  the  subject  as  if  the  sole  use  of 
Trigonometry  were  to  solve  triangles,  and  the  practical 
examples  deal  almost  exclusively  with  various  forms  of 
triangle-solving  under  the  heading  '  Heights  and  Dis- 
tances '.  Further  it  is  customary  to  define  the  trigono- 
metrical ratios  by  means  of  a  right-angled  triangle; 
this  encourages  the  mistaken  idea  that  the  ratios  are 
fundamentally  attached  to  a  triangle,  and  does  not 
impress  upon  the  pupil  the  fact  that  they  are  the  pro- 
perty of  an  angle  and  of  an  angle  only. 

In  this  book  the  trigonometrical  ratios  are  introduced 
as  functions  of  the  angle.  The  trigonometrical  proper- 
ties of  the  single  angle  are  treated  fully  in  the  early 
chapters,  and  from  the  beginning  the  examples  apply 
Trigonometry  wherever  it  may  be  useful,  to  Geometry, 
Mensuration,  Analytical  Geometry,  Physical  formulae, 
&c.  The  right-angled  triangle  definitions  are  given  in 
Chapter  Y.  This  chapter  contains,  in  addition  to  the 
usual  matter,  a  short  treatment  of  Plane  Sailing  in 
Navigation.  It  is  hoped  that  the  examples  in  Navigation 
will  provide  practice  in  the  use  of  tables,  and  at  the 
same  time  be  of  interest  to  the  pupil.     Other  examples 

260011 


4  PREFACE 

in  this  chapter  lead  up  to  the  formulae  dealing  with  the 
ordinary  triangle. 

The  formulae  for  ^  A  are  proved  by  Geometry,  indepen- 
dently of  tlie  addition  formulae;  thus  the  triangle  is 
treated  fully  without  breaking  the  sequence  with  a  dis- 
cussion of  the  A  +  B  and  allied  formulae. 

A  chapter  is  devoted  to  Projection.  This  includes 
a  discussion  of  Vector  Quantities,  their  composition  and 
resolution,  and  finishes  with  a  geometrical  treatment 
of  Demoivre's  Theorem.  In  the  last  chapter,  the  addi- 
tion formulae  and  the  allied  formulae  are  treated  fully ; 
the  projection  proofs  are  used  and  recommended  but  the 
old-fashioned  proofs  are  also  given 

Throughout  the  book  the  student  is  given  every  oppor- 
tunity of  developing  the  subject  for  himself.  A  large 
portion  of  the  bookwork  first  occurs  among  the  examples 
of  earlier  chapters.  Also,  when  a  formula  has  been 
proved,  the  proofs  of  others  of  the  same  kind  are  left 
for  the  student  to  supply.  Thus,  when  siii^A  +  cos^^  =  1 
has  been  proved,  the  student  should  have  no  difficulty 
in  proving  the  connexion  between  sec^A  and  tsui^A; 
when  sin(^  +  ^)  has  been  found,  the  student  should 
himself  find  the  expanded  form  of  cos  (J.  +  B),  Sec. 

The  sets  of  examples  in  the  body  of  a  chapter  arc  num- 
bered IV.  a,  IV.  b,  &c. ;  these  deal  only  with  the  matter 
immediately  preceding  them.  The  last  set  of  examples  in 
a  chapter  has  no  distinguishing  letter  and  serves  for 
revision  of  the  whole  chapter.  There  are  also  three 
sets  of  Revision  Examples,  l^ookwork  is  frequentl}^  set 
as  an  example,  both  in  the  Revision  Sets  and  elsewhere ; 
only  by  constant  repetition,  oral   or  written,  can  the 


PEEFACE  5 

bookwork  be  learnt.  There  are  a  few  sets  of  oral 
examples;  these  are  intended  to  fill  up  spare  minutes 
at  the  end  of  a  lesson  and  often  bring  out  the  weak 
points  in  a  pupil's  knowledge.  The  book  contains  nearly 
1,000  examples ;  it  is  not  intended  that  any  one  should 
attempt  all  these,  but  it  is  hoped  that  they  include 
a  sufficient  variety  of  types  and  a  sufficient  number  of 
each  type  to  meet  all  requirements.

PliELIMINAEY   CHAPTEE 

GEOMETRY 

A  KNOWLEDGE  of  the  following  geometrical  facts  is  required.* 
In  this  book  these  propositions  are  referred  to  by  the  numbers 
given  below. 

Angles. 

Prop.  1.  If  a  straight  line  meets  another  straight  line,  the 
adjacent  angles  are  together  equal  to  two  right  angles. 

Prop.  2.  If  two  straight  lines  cut,  the  vertically  opposite  angles 
are  equal. 

Prop.  3.  The  angle  at  the  centre  of  a  circle  is  double  an  angle 
at  the  circumference  standing  on  the  same  arc. 

Prop.  4.     Angles  in  the  same  segment  of  a  circle  are  equal. 

Prop.  5.  Angles  at  the  centre  of  a  circle  standing  on  different 
arcs  are  in  the  same  ratio  as  the  lengths  of  the  arcs. 

Triangles. 

Prop.  6.  [a]  The  three  angles  of  a  triangle  are  together  equal 
to  two  right  angles. 

(&)  If  one  side  be  produced  the  exterior  angle  equals  the  sum  of 
the  two  interior  opposite  angles. 

Prop.  7.  Any  two  sides  of  a  triangle  are  together  greater  than 
the  third. 

Proj).  8.  Two  triangles  are  congruent  (i.  e.  are  equal  in  every 
respect)  if  they  have  — 

(a)  two  sides  of  the  one  equal  to  two  sides  of  the  other,  each 
to  each,  and  the  angle  contained  by  the  two  sides  of  the  one  equal 
to  the  angle  contained  by  the  two  corresponding  sides  of  the  other ; 

or  (h)  three  sides  of  the  one  equal  to  three  sides  of  the  other,  each 
to  each  ; 

or  (c)  two  angles  of  the  one  equal  to  two  angles  of  the  other, 

*  For  proofs  see  Warren's  Experimental  and  Theoretical  Geometry 
(Clarendon  Press),  or  any  standard  textbook. 


10  GEOMETRY 

each  to  each,  and  a  side  of  the  one  equal  to  the  corresponding  side 
of  the  other. 

Prop.  9.  If  two  triangles  have  an  angle  of  the  one  equal  to 
an  angle  of  the  other,  and  the  sides  about  another  pair  of  angles 
equal,  each  to  each,  then  the  third  angles  are  either  equal  or 
supplementary. 

Prop.  10.  (a)  If  two  sides  of  a  triangle  are  equal,  the  opposite 
angles  are  equal. 

(&)  If  two  sides  are  unequal,  the  greater  side  is  opposite  a  greater 
angle. 

(c)  If  all  the  sides  of  a  triangle  are  equal,  all  the  angles  are  equal. 

Prop.  11.  (a)  If  two  angles  of  a  triangle  are  equal,  the  opposite 
sides  are  equal. 

{b)  If  two  angles  are  unequal,  the  greater  angle  is  opposite  a 
greater  side. 

(c)  If  all  the  angles  of  a  triangle  are  equal,  all  the  sides  are  equal. 

Prop.  12.  Two  triangles  are  similar  (i.  e.  their  angles  are  equal, 
each  to  each,  and  the  ratio  of  pairs  of  sides  opposite  equal  angles 
is  the  same  for  all  three  angles)  if  they  have — 

{a)  their  angles  equal  each  to  each  ; 

(6)  their  sides  in  the  same  ratio  ; 

(c)  an  angle  of  the  one  equal  to  an  angle  of  the  other,  and  the 
sides  about  the  equal  angles  in  the  same  ratio. 

Prop.  13.  (Pythagoras'  Theorem.)  In  a  right-angled  triangle  the 
square  on  the  hypotenuse  is  equal  to  the  sum  of  the  squares  on  the 
other  two  sides. 

Parallel  Lines. 

Prop.  14.  (a)  If  a  line  is  drawn  to  cut  two  parallel  lines,  it 
makes  (i)  the  alternate  angles  equal,  (ii)  the  interior  angles  on 
the  same  side  of  it  together  equal  to  two  right  angles,  (iii)  the 
exterior  angle  equal  to  the  interior  opposite  angle. 

(b)  The  opposite  sides  and  angles  of  a  parallelogram  are  equal. 

Area. 

The  unit  of  area  is  the  area  of  a  square  whose  side  is  of  unit 
length. 

Prop.  15.  The  number  of  units  of  area  in  a  rectangle  is  equal  to 
the  product  of  the  number  of  units  of  length  in  one  side  multi- 
plied by  the  number  of  units  of  length  in  the  other. 


GEOMETRY  11 

Or,  more  shortly  :  Area  of  rectangle  =  length  x  breadth. 
Proio.  16.     The  area  of  a  triangle  =  \  base  x  altitude. 

The  Concurrencies  of  the  Triangle. 

Prop.  17.  The  lines  bisecting  the  sides  of  a  triangle  at  right 
angles  are  concurrent  (i.  e.  meet  at  a  point). 

The  point  in  which  they  meet  is  the  centre  of  the  circle  passing 
through  the  three  vertices  and  is  called  the  circumcentre. 

Prop.  18.  The  lines  drawn  from  the  vertices  to  bisect  the  oppo- 
site sides  are  concurrent. 

These  lines  are  called  the  medians  and  the  point  of  concurrency 
is  called  the  centroid. 

Prop.  19.     (a)  The  lines  bisecting  the  angles  are  concurrent. 

The  point  of  concurrency  is  the  centre  of  the  circle  that  touches 
all  the  sides,  and  is  called  the  incentre. 

(&)  If  two  of  the  sides  be  produced,  the  lines  bisecting  the  ex- 
terior angles  so  formed  and  the  line  bisecting  the  interior  angle 
contained  by  the  produced  sides  are  concurrent. 

The  point  of  concurrency  is  the  centre  of  the  circle  that  touches 
the  two  sides  when  produced  and  the  third  side  (not  produced) ; 
it  is  called  an  e-centre. 

Prop.  20.  The  perpendiculars  let  fall  from  the  vertices  on  the 
opposite  sides  are  concurrent. 

The  point  of  concurrency  is  called  orthocentre. 

The  Circle. 

Prop.  21.  The  straight  line  passing  through  the  centre,  at  right 
angles  to  a  chord,  bisects  the  chord. 

Prop.  22.  [a)  The  angle  at  the  centre  of  a  circle  is  twice  the 
angle  at  the  circumference  on  the  same  arc.  (&)  Angles  in  the 
same  segment  are  equal,  (c)  The  opposite  angles  of  a  quadri- 
lateral inscribed  in  a  circle  are  together  equal  to  two  right  angles. 

Prop.  23.  The  tangent  at  any  point  is  at  right  angles  to  the 
radius  drawn  to  that  point. 

Prop.  24.  (a)  Two  tangents  can  be  drawn  to  a  circle  from  any 
external  point.  (&)  The  parts  of  these  tangents  between  the 
external  point  and  the  points  of  contact  are  equal,  (c)  The  line 
joining  the  external  point  to  the  centre  bisects  the  angle  between 
the  tangrents.

GEOMETRY 


Prop.  25.  The  ratio  of  the  circumference  of  any  circle  to  its 
diameter  is  the  same  for  ail  circles. 

This  ratio  is  denoted  by  the  symbol  tv  :  its  value  is  3*1416  correct 
to  five  significant  figures. 

Prop.  26.  The  area  of  a  circle  equals  the  area  of  the  rectangle 
contained  by  the  radius  and  a  straight  line  equal  to  half  the 
circumference. 

This  is  usually  expressed  in  the  formula  :  Area  =  tt  r^. 

GRAPHS* 

Geometrical.  If  two  straight  lines  are  drawn  in  a  plane,  the 
position  of  any  point  in  the  plane  can  be  determined  by  means  of 
its  distances  from  those  lines. 


Y 

Fig.  1. 

It  is  usual  to  draw  one  of  the  lines  horizontal  and  the  other 
perpendicular  to  it.     The  customary  notation  is  shown  in  Fig.  1. 

X'OX  is  called  the  axis  of  x ; 

Y'OY  i%  called  the  axis  of  y; 

0  is  called  the  origin  ; 

ON  is  called  the  abscissa  of  the  point  P; 

NP  is  called  the  ordinate  of  the  point  P. 

The  abscissa  and  ordinate  are  called  the  co-ordinates  t  of  the 
point  P. 

*  For  a  fuller  treatment  of  Graphs  see  School  Algebra  published  by 
the  Clarendon  Press. 

t  Tliese  co-ordinates  are  called  Cartesian  co-ordinates  because  they 
were  first  used  by  the  French  mathematician,  Descartes. 


GRAPHS 


13 


The  abscissa  is  said  to  be  positive  if  drawn  to  the  right,  negative 
if  drawn  to  the  left.  Similarly,  the  ordinate  is  positive  if  drawn 
upwards  from  N,  negative  if  drawn  downwards.  The  number  of 
units  of  length  in  ON,  preceded  by  the  proper  sign,  is  usually 
denoted  by  x,  and  the  number  of  units  of  length  in  NP,  preceded 
by  the  proper  sign,  is  denoted  by  tj.  In  each  case  the  sign  +  is 
often  omitted. 

Thus,  in  Fig.  2,  the  co-ordinates  of  A  are  x  =  -4,  y  =  2,  of 
C,  x  =  4:,  y  =  ^,  oi  L,  x  =  (),  y  =  -7.

Fig.  2. 

Very  often  a  point  is  described  by  writing  the  values  of  the 
co-ordinates  in  brackets  ;  e.  g.  the  point  H  might  be  described  as 
the  point  (  —  6,  —4). 

Exercise.  Write  down  the  co-ordinates  of  all  the  points  in

Graphs  of  Statistics.  The  magnitude  of  any  quantity  may  be 
represented  by  a  straight  line  which  contains  as  many  units  of 
length  as  the  quantity  contains  units  of  its  own  kind. 

If  two  quantities  are  changing  their  values  at  the  same  time, 


14 


GRAPHS 


the  simultaneous  values  may  be  represented  in  the  same  figure 
by  taking  horizontal  lengths  to  represent  one  magnitude  and 
vertical  lengths  to  represent  the  other.

Fig.  3. 


In  Fig,  3  the  changing  quantities  are  time  and  temperature ; 
and  the  dots  show  that  at  noon  on  Sunday  the  temperature  was 
29°,  on  Monday  the  temperature  was  35,  &c.  In  fact  the  figure 
conveys  the  same  information  as  the  following  table  : — 

Sun.      Mon.     Tues.     Wed.    Thurs.     Fri.        Sat. 
Temp.    29°        85°        42°        31°        27°        43°        50° 

If  there  is  no  information  about  intermediate  temperatures, 
the  points  are  joined  by  a  series  of  straight  lines.  The  figure 
now  forms  a  graph. 

In  describing  such  a  graph  we  should  say  that  the  abscissae 
represent  time  and  the  ordinates  temperature. 

Graphs  of  functions.  If  two  quantities  x  and  //  are  such  that 
a  change  of  value  in  the  one  causes  a  change  of  value  in  tiie 
other,  then  either  of  them  is  said  to  be  a  function  of  the  other. 


GRAPHS 


15 


This  is  expressed  thus  :  y  =f{x),  or  x  =f{y)  where  f[x)  means 
a  function  of  x.  A  graph  can  be  drawn  in  which  the  abscissae 
are  proportional  to  the  values  of  x  and  the  ordinates  to  the  values 
of  y.  This  graph  is  called  the  graph  of  the  function  f{x)  or  of 
the  equation  y=f{x).  This  maybe  more  easily  understood  by 
considering  a  few  algebraical  functions. 

Example  I.     Draw  the  graph  when  y  =  \x-%

The  co-ordinates  of  every  point  on  graph  i  satisfy  the  first  equa- 
tion, and  of  every  point  on  graph  ii  satisfy  the  second  equation. 
Hence  the  co-ordinates  of  any  points  which  are  on  both  graphs, 
that  is,  the  co-ordinates  of  the  points  of  intersection,  satisfy  both 
equations. 

Fig.  5  shows,  therefore,  that  the  values  x  =  '3,  t/  =  I'S,  and 
X  =  2'8,  y  =  1*6,  are  the  solutions  of  the  two  equations. 

This  graphical  method  of  solving  equations  is  very  useful, 
but  is,  of  course,  only  approximate.  If  more  accurate  answers  are 
required,  the  graphs  must  be  drawn  on  a  larger  scale  in  the 
neighbourhood  of  their  points  of  intersection.

Fractional  and  Negative  Indices.  It  is  shown  in  Algebra 
that  p  _  1 

where  p  and  g  are  any  positive   integers  and  x  is  any  positive 
quantity,  integral  or  fractional. 

A  fractional  index  may  be  expressed  as  a  decimal ;  thus  such 
expressions  as  4'^^  10*'°^  have  a  definite  value.  This  value  could 
in  theory  be  found  by  reducing  the  decimal  to  a  vulgar  fraction 
and  then  replacing  the  power  with  a  fractional  index  by  a  root, 
e.g. 

10-301 

This  is  obviously  not  practical.  The  value  can  be  found  by  a 
graphical  method  which  is  easy  but  only  approximate.

The  values  of  x  are  obtained  as  follows  :  — 
10°    =  1  by  definition  given  above. 
10-»  =  10^  =  VIo. 

10-25  =  10^=  V^\/ 10;    similarly  W^'-^^^  ^W\ 
W^  =  10-5+-25  =  10-5  X  10*25,  &c. 

The  graph  is  shown  on  a  small  scale  in  Fig.  6. 

It  is  seen  that  10'^°  is  almost  exactly  2 ;  any  other  power  of  10 
can  be  found  approximately  from  this  graph  when  the  index  is 
between  0  and  10. 

Definition  of  a  logarithm.  The  logarithm  of  a  number  to  a 
given  base  is  the  index  of  the  power  to  which  the  base  must  be 
raised  to  equal  the  number.  Thus  3^'=  9,  therefore  the  logarithm 
of  9  to  base  3  equals  2  ;  this  is  written  log3  9  =  2. 

In  dealing  with  numbers  the  base  is  10.  In  the  remainder  of 
this  chapter  it  is  assumed  that  the  base  is  always  10,  so  that 
log  731  means  logarithm  of  731  to  base  10. 

The  equation  x  =  10^  may  be  written  t/  =  log  x. 

Hence  Fig.  6  provides  an  approximate  means  of  finding  the 
logarithm  of  any  number  between  1  and  10. 

Characteristic  and  mantissa.  Consider  a  number,  such  as 
4878.    It  means 

4xlO.H3x  102  +  7x10  +  8. 
Also  a  decimal  number,  such  as  '0376,  means 

A      A       _I_       _?_ 
10  "^  1Q2  "^  10^  "^10^* 

If  we  use  negative  indices,  this  may  be  written 

•0376  =  3  X  10-2  +  7  X  10-^  +  6  x  10"*. 
Similarly 

537-13  =  5  X  102  +  3  x  10^  +  7  X  10''  +  1  X  10-i  +  3  x  lO"''. 
It  follows  that 

4378  >  103     but  <  10\ 

•0376  >  10-2  but  <  10-^ 

587-13  >  102    but  <  10», 

4-37  >  10°    but  <  10\ 


•.  log  4378  =  3  +  a  decimal ; 
•.  log  "0376  =  -  2  +  a  decimal ; 
•.  log  537-13  =  2  +  a  decimal ; 
•.  log  4'37  =  0  +  a  decimal.

We  now  see  (i)  that  the  logarithm  of  any  number  consists  of  an 
integer  (which  may  be  positive,  zero,  or  negative)  and  a  positive

decimal,  (ii)  that  the  integer  is  the  index  of  the  highest  power  of 
10  contained  in  the  number. 

The  integral  part  of  a  logarithm  is  called  the  characteristic ; 
the  decimal  part  the  mantissa.

LOGAEITHMS 


Consideration  of  the  preceding  table  shows  that  the  character- 
istic (i.  e.  the  highest  index)  may  always  be  found  by  the  following 
rule :  Count  from  the  unit  place  to  the  first  significant  figure 
(i.  e.  the  first  figure  which  is  not  0),  the  unit  place  being  counted 
as  nothing.  The  characteristic  is  positive  or  zero  if  the  number 
is  greater  than  one,  negative  if  it  is  less  than  one. 

The  mantissa  is  independent  of  the  position  of  the  de- 
cimal point.    An  example  will  make  this  clear. 

Given  that  log  4-376  =  -6411,  find  log  4376  and  log  -004376. 
4376  =  1000  X  4-376 

but  4-376  =  10-""  since  log  4*376  =  '6411. 
.-.    4376  =  10^  X  10-<'^^i  =  10s-6"S  i.  e.  log  4376  =  3-6411 
•004376  =  1  J-oo  X  4*376  =  10-^  x  lO-^^i  =  io-3+-64n 
.-.    log -004376  = -3 +  -6411. 

The  negative  sign  of  a  characteristic  is  always  placed  on  top 
and  the  +  before  the  decimal  is  omitted.  Thus  log  '004376  = 
3-6411.

which  a  specimen  is  given  below.

Consider  the  logarithms  of  5467  and  '05467. 

By  counting,  the  characteristic  of  log  5467  is  found  to  be  3,  and 
that  of  log  '05467  to  be  2. 

Both  logarithms  have  the  same  mantissa.  Look  for  54  in  t)ie 
extreme  left-hand  column.  In  the  same  line  with  54  and  under  6 
we  find  7372  ;  this  is  the  mantissa  of  log  546.  Under  the  7  in  the 
small  columns  to  the  right,  and  in  a  line  with  54,  we  find  6 ;  this 
must  be  added  to  the  last  digit  of  the  mantissa  already  found. 
Hence  the  mantissa  is  '7378. 

Therefore  log  5467  =  3'7378  and  log  '05467  =  2*7378.

(b)  Five-figure  tables.     Find  the  logarithm  of  346'73. 

Proceeding  as  -with  four-figure  tables,  we  find  that  the  mantissa 
of  log  346  is  '53908.  ,Under  7  in  the  side  columns,  we  find  88  ; 
this  must  be  added  to  the  last  two  digits  already  found.  For  a  3 
in  the  fourth  place  we  should  add  38,  for  a  3  in  the  fifth  place  we 
add,  therefore,  ^^  x  38,  i.  e.  4  to  nearest  integer.  Hence 
log  3467-3  =  2-53908  +  88  +  4  =  2-54000. 

To  find  the  number  corresponding  to  any  logarithm. 

Method  I.  Reverse  the  process  for  finding  a  logarithm.  Sup- 
pose the  logarithm  is  3*7271. 

Look  in  the  logarithms  for  the  mantissa  nearest  to  7271,  but 
less  than  it.  We  find  7267,  level  with  53  and  under  3 ;  the  first 
three  figures  of  the  number  are  533.  This  leaves  7271  -  7267  =  4  ; 
in  the  right-hand  columns  4  is  found  under  5.  Hence  the  first  four 
figures  are  5335. 

The  characteristic  is  3,  therefore  the  left-hand  digit  5  represents 
5  X  10^ ;  hence  the  number  is  bd\p. 

The  number  is  called  the  antilogarithm  of  the  logarithm. 

Method  II.  If  tables  of  antilogarithms  are  available,  they  are 
used  in  the  same  way  as  kcarithm  tables.

Look  for  *72  in  the  left-hand  column  ;  level  with  *72  and  under  7 
we  find  5333  ;  in  the  small  columns  we  find  1  under  1.  Hence  the 
first  four  figures  are  5334. 

The  characteristic  is  3  ;  as  before,  the  number  is  5334. 


Note. — The  two  methods  give  results  differing  by  1  in  the  last 
figure  ;  this  shows  that  the  number  is  between  the  two  results.  On 
using  five-figure  tables,  it  is  found  that  the  antilogarithm  of  3'7271 
is  5334-5.

1.  Any  angle  such  as  BAC  (Fig.  I)  may  be  thought  of  as 
having  been  formed  by  rotating  the  line  AC  about  the  point  A 
from  the  position  of  coincidence  with  AB  to  its  final  position  AC. 


Fig.  I. 

This  way  of  regarding  an  angle  shows  clearly  the  intimate 
connexion  between  angles  and  arcs  of  circles  and  this  connexion 
leads  to  the  usual  method  of  measuring  angles. 

2.  The  Degree.*  From  very  early  times  it  has  been  the  custom 
to  divide  the  circumference  of  a  circle  into  360  equal  parts  or 

*  'The  current  sexagesimal  division  of  angles  is  derived  from  the 
Babylonians  through  the  Greeks.  The  Babylonian  unit  angle  was  the 
angle  of  an  equilateral  triangle;  following  their  usual  practice  this 
was  divided  into  60  equal  parts  or  degrees,  a  degree  was  subdivided 
into  60  equal  parts  or  minutes,  and  so  on  ;  it  is  said  that  60  was 
assumed  as  the  base  of  the  system  in  order  that  the  number  of  degrees 
corresponding  to  the  circumference  of  a  circle  should  be  the  same  as 
the  number  of  days  in  a  year  which  it  is  alleged  was  taken,  at  any  rate 
in  practice,  to  be  360.'  (From  A  Short  Account  of  the  Hisfory  of  Mathe- 
matics, by  W.  W.  Rouse  Ball.)

degrees,  each  degree  into  60  parts  or  minutes,*  each  minute  into 
60  seconds.^ 

The  angle  at  the  centre  of  a  circle,  subtended  by  an  arc 
of  1  degree,  is  taken  as  the  unit  angle,  and  it,  too,  is  called 
a  degree  ;  it  is  divided  into  minutes  and  seconds  in  the 
same  way  as  the  arc  degree. 

The  notation  used  is  shown  in  the  following  example : — 
47°  15' 37"  is  read  47  degrees  15  minutes  37  seconds. 

If  the  line  makes  a  complete  rotation,  thus  returning  to  its 
original  position,  it  has  turned  through  an  angle  of  360°. 

A  right  angle  is  produced  by  one-quarter  of  a  complete  rotation, 
and  is,  therefore,  equal  to  90°. 

If  two  angles  together  equal  a  right  angle,  either  of  them  is 
called  the  complement  of  the  other.  When  the  sum  equals  two 
right  angles,  either  angle  is  the  supplement  of  the  other. 

3.  Positive  and  Negative  Angles.  In  discussing  the 
properties  of  a  single  angle  it  is  usual  to  draw  the  initial 
line  so  that  it  is  horizontal  and  to  name  it  OA.  If  the 
rotating  line  moves  in  a  direction  opposite  to  that  of  the 
hands  of  a  clock,  the  angle  is  said  to  be  positive  ;  if  in 
the  same  direction  as  the  hands  of  a  clock,  the  angle  is 
negative.

ANGLES  AND  THEIR   MEASUREMENT        27 

In  Fig.  II  the  line  OP  has  made  i  of  a  complete  turn,  hence 
the  angle  ^OP  =  i  x  360°  =  45°  ;  in  Fig.  Ill  the  angle  ^ OP  is 
reflex  *  and  is  equal  to  §  x  360°  =  225°.  If,  in  Fig.  II,  the  line 
OP  reached  its  position  b}--  turning  in  the  negative  direction  it 
would  have  made  |  of  a  complete  turn  so  that  the  reflex  angle 
^OP  in  Fig.  II  =  -315°.  Similarly  in  Fig.  Ill  the  obtuse  angle 
AOP=  -135°. 

4.  Angles  unlimited  in  size.  In  Fig.  II  the  line  OP  might 
have  made  one,  two,  or  any  number  of  complete  turns,  either 
positive  or  negative,  and  then  have  moved  on  to  its  final  position  : 
hence  the  angle  AOP  may  represent  405°,  or  765°,  or  —675°.  All 
possible  values  are  included  in  the  general  formula 

^0P=  360  n  + 45, 
where  n  is  any  whole  number,  positive,  zero,  or  negative. 

Unless  the  problem  under  discussion  allows  the  possibility  of 
the  angle  being  greater  than  360°,  it  is  always  assumed  that  the 
angle  is  less  than  360°. 

5.  The  Grade.  When  the  metric  system  was  invented,  the 
French  Mathematicians  introduced  a  new  unit,  the  Grade,  such  that 

100  grades     =  1  right  angle, 

100  minutes  =  1  grade, 

100  seconds  =  1  minute. 
This  system  never  came  into  general  use,  even  in  France,  and  now 
exists  only  in  old-fashioned  examination  papers. 

Examples  I  a. 

1.  Find  the  complement  of  each  of  the  following  angles: 
32°,  47°  23',  75°  13' 14",  68°0'13",  27°  42' 18-6". 

2.  Write  down  the  supplements  of  75°,  68°  14',  115°  17' 48" 
90°,  78°  24' 36". 

3.  The  angles  of  a  triangle  are  found  to  be  42°  13'  17",  73°  47'  5", 
64°  0'  38".     Is  this  correct  ? 

4.  Two  angles  of  a  triangle  are  17°  43',  92°  16';  calculate  the 
third  angle. 

5.  In  a  triangle  ABC,  1{A  +  B)  =  77°  29'  and  \{A-B)  =  16°  25' ; 
find  all  the  angles. 

*  A  reflex  angle  is  an  angle  greater  than  two  right  angles,  but  less 
than  four  right  angles.

6.  Express  in  degrees,  minutes,  and  seconds  the  angle  of 
(a)  a  square,  {h)  a  regular  pentagon,  (c)  a  regular  heptagon. 

7.  Express  each  of  the  angles  of  question  6  in  grades. 

8.  The  magnitude  of  an  angle  may  be  expressed  either  as 
D  degrees  or  G  grades ;  find  the  equation  connecting  D  and  G. 

9.  Draw  the  angles  A  and  ^A  in  each  of  the  following  cases: 
(«)  A  =  54°,  (b)  A  =  414°,  (c)  A  =  774°,  (d)  A  =  1134°,  (e)  234^ 
(/)  -126°. 

10.  Through  what  angles  do  the  hour,  minute,  and  second 
hands  of  a  watch  respectively  turn  between  12^  30'  a.m.  and 
5h  3'  a.m.  ? 

6.  The  ratio  of  the  length  of  the  circumference  of  a  circle 
to  the  length  of  its  diameter  is  the  same  for  all  circles. 
This  constant  value  is  denoted  by  the  Greek  letter  -n  (pro- 
nounced pi),  so  that  if 

the  circumference  =  c  units  of  length, 
and  diameter  =  cl  units  of  length, 

then  -  =  77. 

d 

The  value  of  tt  can  be  found,  correct  to  two  or  three  significant 
figures,  by  actual  measurement.  By  geometrical  and  trigono- 
metrical calculations  its  value  can  be  calculated  to  any  desired 
number  of  places. 

Correct  to  5  significant  figures,  n  =  31416. 

Correct  to  6  significant  figures,  n  =  314159. 

For  mental  calculations  tt  may  be  taken  as  31. 

7.  By  using  Prop.  5,  p.  9,  problems  dealing  with  the  lengths  of 
circular  arcs  may  often  be  solved. 

Example.  Find  the  length  of  an  arc  which 
subtends  an  angle  of  49°  at  the  centre  of  a 
circle  whose  7-adius  is  5  feet.

8.  Circular  measure.  By  the  method  of  the  last  section 
it   is   easily  shown  that   the  length  of  an  arc  of  a  circle, 

Att 

radius  r,  subtending  an  angle  A°  at  the  centre  is  r  -— - . 

loO 

In  many  other  formulae  the  fraction  -—  occurs  in  con- 

nexion  with  the  angle  A°.  In  theoretical  work  it  has, 
therefore,  been  found  convenient  to  use  another  unit  angle, 
which  simplifies  formulae  considerably. 

The  radian  is  the  angle  subtended  at  the  centre  of  any 
circle  by  an  arc  equal  in  length  to  the  radius. 

Let  x°  equal  1  radian 

arc  equal  to  radius  _  angle  of  1  radian  _    x°^ 
semi-circumference         2  right  angles         180° 

'•^*  7rr~180°' 

Since  n  is  the  same  for  all  circles,  it  follows  that  the  radian  is 
the  same  for  all  circles  and  may,  therefore,  be  taken  as  a  unit 
of  measurement. 

The  number  of  radians  in  an  angle  is  often  called  the 
circular  measure  of  the  angle.  For  this  reason  the 
symbol  <^  is  used  to  show  that  the  angle  is  measured  in 
radians,  e.  g.  2^^  means  2  radians. 

When  the  radian  is  the  unit  angle,  it  is  customary  to  use 
Greek  letters  to  denote  the  number  of  radians,  and  the 
symbol  '^  is  then  often  omitted.  When  capital  English 
letters  are  used,  it  is  usually  understood  that  the  angle  is 
measured  in  degrees.

9.  The  points  of  the  compass.  The  card  of  the  Mariner's 
Compass  is  divided  into  four  quadrants  by  two  diameters  pointing 
North  and  South,  East  and  AVest  respectively.  These  are  the 
Cardinal  Points.  Two  other  diameters  bisecting  the  angles 
between  the  previous  diameters  give  four  other  points,  viz.  NE., 
NW.,  SW.,  SE.     The  eight  angles  so  formed  are  bisected   and 


eight  more  points  are  thus  obtained.  These  are  named  by  com- 
-biningthe  names  of  the  points  between  which  they  lie,  beginning 
with  the  cardinal  point.  Thus  the  point  midway  between  E.  and 
SE.  is  ESE.  (East  South-East). 

The  sixteen  angles  now  formed  are  bisected  so  that  the  circum- 
ference is  finally  divided  into  thirty  two  equal  divisions.  From 
their  names  the  last  sixteen  points  are  called  by-points.  The 
point  midway  between  N.  and  NNE.  is  called  N.  by  E. ;  that  mid- 
way between  SW.  and  SSW.  is  called  SW.  by  S.,  &c.

ANGLES  AND  THEIR  MEASUREMENT 


The  angle  between  two  consecutive  points  of  the  compass  is  also 
called  a  point,  thus  N.  2  points  E.  is  the  same  as  NNE. ;  WSW.  \  W. 
means  |  a  point  W.  of  WSW. 

The  ordinary  degree  is  sometimes  used  in  defining  a  direction, 
for  instance  ENE.  can  be  referred  to  as  221°  N.  of  E.  Similarly 
we  may  have  32°  W.  of  N.,  40°  S.  of  W.,  &c. 


10.  Latitude  and  Longitude.  The  position  of  a  point  on 
a  sphere  can  be  defined  by  two  angles,  which  may  be  compared 
with  the  abscissa  and  ordinate  of  plane  geometry.  These  angles 
are  easily  understood  by  considering  the  special  case  of  Longitude 
and  Latitude. 


In  Fig.  V  the  meridian  through  Greenwich  cuts  the  equator 
at  A  ;  the  meridian  through  P  cuts  at  B.  0  is  the  centre  of  the 
Earth. 

The  Longitude  of  Pis  the  angle  AOB  and  may  be  either  East 
or  West  of  the  Greenwich  meridian. 

The  Latitude  of  Pis  the  angle  FOB  and  may  be  either  North 
or  South  of  the  Equator. 

Note. — A  geographical  or  nautical  mile  is  the  lengtli  of  an  arc  of  a 
meridian  (or  of  the  equator)  subtending  an  angle  of  1'  at  the  centre  of 
the  earth.

A  ship  travelling  at  the  rate  of  I  nautioal  mile  per  hour  is  said  to

11.  Gradient.  It  is  usual  to  estimate  the  inclination  to 
the  horizontal  of  a  road  or  hill  by  the  distance  risen  veitically  for 
a  certain  horizontal  distance.  Thus  a  hill  might  be  said  to  rise 
3  in  5 ;  this  would  mean  that  if  a  horizontal  line  were  drawn 
through  a  point  B  on  the  hill  to  meet  the  vertical  line  through 
a  lower  point  A  at  C,  then  AC/BC  would  equal  ?.  The  hill  is  said 
to  have  a  gradient  or  slope  of  3  in  5. 


Fig.  VI. 

It  is  clear  that  in  many  cases  it  is  easier  to  measure  AB  than  BC; 
and  some  books  take  a  gradient  of  3  in  o  to  mean  a  rise  of  3  vertically 
for  a  distance  5  measured  along  the  incline  ;  so  that  in  the  figiire 
AC/AB  would  be  f.  This  latter  interpretation  of  gradient  is  very 
common  in  books  on  Theoretical  Mechanics. 

If  the  inclination  is  small,  it  makes  no  practical  difference  whicli 
interpretation  of  gradient  is  taken. 

It  should  be  noticed  that  the  angle  is  the  same  whatever  units 
be  used  ;  that  is  whether  we  consider  a  rise  of  3  inches  in  5  inches, 
3  furlongs  in  5  furlongs,  3  miles  in '5  miles.  This  follows  from 
Prop.  12  0.

13.  Trigonometry  was  developed  by  Arabian  and  Greek  astrono- 
mers who  based  their  work  on  the  circular  arc  and  not  on  the 
angle.  In  the  Middle  Ages  this  early  mathematical  work  was 
translated  into  Latin,  and  so  the  present  names  of  the  nitio  were 
derived.     The  following  section  shows  the  reasons  for  these  names. 

14.  Draw  a  circle  with  centre  0  cutting  the  initial  line  at  .1  and 
the  perpendicular  to  it  at  B. 

Take  a  point  P  on  the  circumference  of  the  circle. 

Draw  the  tangent  at  yl  and  product'  OP  to  meet  it  at  T. 

Draw  PN  perpendicular  to  ()A. 

AT  wiiH  called  the  tangent  of  the  arc  AP. 

OT,  which  cuts  the  circle,  was  called  the  secant  of  the  arc  AP.

.  NP  was  called  the  sine  *  of  the  arc  AP. 

Clearly  the  lengths  o^  AT,  02]  AP  change  when  the  radius  OA 
changes,  even  if  the  angle  .lOP  remain  constant. 


But  from  similar  triangles  it  is  seen  that,  if  the  angle  is  constant, 
the  ratios  oi  AT,  OT,  NP  to  the  radius  are  also  constant.  Hence, 
as  Trigonometry  developed,  it  was  seen  to  he  advisable  to  divide  hy 


*  The  word  '  sine'  is  derived  from  the  Latin  sinus.  If  in  Fig,  VIII

a  bow  (Latin  arcus)  of  which  PXP'  is  the  string  or  chord  (Latin  chorda}. 
To  use  the  bow,  the  string  is  pulled  till  JV  touclies  the  bosom  (Latin 
sinus^  ;  hence  PX  is  called  the  sine.  NA  is  often  called  the  sagitta  of 
the  arc.

'  Sine  of  the  complement  of '  was  shortened  into  co-sine.  Possibly 
'  complementary  sine  '  was  an  intermediate  stage.  [Similarly,  co- 
tangent and  cosecant  were  derived. 

Since  the  values  of  the  ratios  depend  on  the  values  of  the  angle, 
the  term  Trigonometrical  Functions  is  often  used  instead  of 
Trigonometrical  Ratios.  Frequently  the  ratios  are  referred  to  as 
Circular  Functions. 

15.  Ratios  rarely  used,     in  Fig.  VIII 

N A  is  called  the  vorsine  (i.  e.  versed  sine)  of  the  are  AV. 

X'B  is  called  t])e  coversine  of  the  arc  AP. 

AP  (not  joined  in  the  figure)  is  the  chord  of  the  arc  AP. 
If  we  divide  each  of  these  by  the  radius  we  get  the  corresponding 
ratios  of  the  angles  AOP.     These  ratios  are  very  rarely  used.    Another 
function  that  is  now  rarely  used  is  tlie  haversino,  i.  c.  half  the  versed 
sine. 

16.  Projection  Formulae.    It  is  useful  to  remember  that 
ON  (i.  e.  the  projection  of  the  radius  on  the  initial  line) 

=  r  cos  6 
and  iYi^(i.  e.  the  projection  ot  the  radius  on  a  line  perpen- 
dicular to  tlie  initial  line)  =  ;•  sin  0.

17.  Polar  co-ordinates.  The  position  of  a  point  P  is 
determined  if  the  distance  OF  from  a  fixed  point  is  known 
and  also  the  angle  this  distance  makes  with  a  fixed  line  OX 
through  0.  The  length  is  usually  denoted  by  y  and  the 
angle  by  6  ;  these  are  the  polar  co-ordinates  of  P.  In  this 
connexion  0  is  called  the  pole. 

18.  Graphs  of  Trigonometrical  Functions. 

The  definitions  of  the  last  suction  lead  to  an  easy  method  of 
drawing  the  graphs.  On  page  -12  the  sine  graph  (i.e.  the  graph  of 
the  equation  «/  =  sin  x)  is  given.     It  is  obtained  as  follows  : 

Step  1.  On  the  extreme  left  of  the  paper  (which  should  be  ruled 
in  squares)  draw  a  circle  with  its  centre  at  the  intersection  of  two 
lines.     Take  the  horizontal  radius  CA  as  initial  line. 

Step  2.    The  perpendicular  B'CB  gives  the  angles  90°  and  270°. 

The  diagonals  through  C  give  the  angles  45°,  135°,  225°,  315°. 

By  stepping  off  chords  equal  to  the  radius,  starting  from  A,  the 
angles  60",  120°,  240°,  &c.,  are  obtained  ;  and,  by  starting  at  B, 
•the  angles  30°,  150°,  &c.,  are  obtained. 

Only  the  points  P,  P' , . . .,  on  the  circumference  need  be  obtained 
as  is  shown  in  the  third  quadrant  ;  the  radii  are  not  needed  for 
drawing  the  sine  grajih. 

Step  3.  Take  a  point  0  as  origin,  some  distance  along  the  initial 
line,  and,  with  a  convenient  scale,  mark  off  abscissae  to  represent 
the  angles  30°,  45°,  60°,  &c.,  and,  as  far  as  space  allows,  mark  off 
the  negative  abscissae. 

Stej)  4.  Through  the  points  on  the  circumference  draw  parallels 
to  the  initial  line  to  cut  the  corresponding  ordinates.  These 
points  of  intersection  are  points  on  the  graph. 

The  ordinates  of  this  graph*  are  proportional  to  the  sines;  if 
we  divide  by  the  radius,  the  actual  values  of  the  sines  are  found. 

The  sine  graph  is  shown  on  a  larger  scale  in  Fig.  X. 

19.  The  tangent  graph.  To  obtain  the  ordinates  for  the 
tangent  graph  the  radii  must  be  produced  to  meet  the  tangent  to 

*  The  giaph  of  the  sine  is  a  wavy  or  sinuous  curve.  Tlie  name  sine 
is  therefore  appropriate,  although  it  is  improbable  that  the  originators 
of  the  name  ever  drew  the  graph.

Inverse  notation.  There  is  one  exception  to  the  above 
statement.  Suppose  sin  A  —  a.  then  A  is  an  angle  whose 
sine  is  a.  This  is  written  A  =  sin  '  ffv  Similar!}^,  tan"'«, 
means  an  angle  whose  tangent  is  a  ;  and  so  for  the  other 
ratios. 

If  w^e  wish  to  express  -^ — -  as  a  power  of  sin  J.,  we  must 
write  (sin  A)~'^.

Note.  Continental  mathematicians  denote  tlie  angle  whose  sin  is  x 
by  arc  sin  oc.     Tlxis  notation  sometimes  occurs  in  English  books.

exercise  to  prove  that  two  expressions,  apparently  different, 
are  identical ;  such  exercises  serve  to  fix  the  relations  in  the 
memory  and  lead  to  facility  in  dealing  with  trigonometrical 
expressions.

25.  Elimination.  If  two  equations  are  satisfied  by  the 
same  value  of  a  single  variable,  there  must  be  a  relation 
connecting  the  constants  of  the  equations ;  this  is  also  the 
case  when  n  equations  are  satisfied  by  the  same  values  of 
n—1  variables.  In  order  to  find  this  relation  we  eliminate 
the  variable  or  variables.

As  X  diminishes,  1/x  increases,  and,  by  making  x  suificiently  small, 
We  can  make  1/x  exceed  any  assigned  value  however  great.  This  is 
expressed  thus:  when  x  =  0,  1/x  =  co  .  Or  more  generally,  if  a  is  a

But,  as  the  angle  diminishes,  these  three  lengths  more  and 
more  nearly  coincide  ;  and  are  practically  indistinguishable  when 
the  angle  is  very  small.  This  is  shown  in  Fig.  XVIII,  which  also 
shows  that  ON  is  indistinguishable  from  OA. 

Hence,  when  6  is  very  small,  there  is  very  slight  error  in 
saying  NP  =  arc  AP  =  AT,  and  OiY  =  OA.

Substituting  the  trigonometrical  values  for  the  lengths  of  these 
lines,  we  have 

sin  S  =  6  =  tan  6    and    cos  ^  =  1 , 

when  6,  the  circular  measure  of  the  angle,  is  small. 

This  may  also  be  expressed  thus :  The  limit  of  or  of  ^^^  > 

when  6  is  zero,  is  1  ;  or  in  symbols

33.  Error  involved.    Whatever  be  the  value  of  ^,  it  has  been 
shown  that  cos^^  +  sin'^^  =  1. 

Using  the  above  approximations,  we  have 

This  last  statement  is  true  only  when  6"^  is  so  small  as  to  be 
negligible.     Hence 

If  ^  is  so  small  that  $-  maybe  neglected,  we  may  say  that 
sin  S  =  e,     cos  ^  =  1,     tan  6  =  0. 

It  is  shown  in  Higher  Trigonometr}'-  that  sin  i^'  =  ^  gives  correct 
results  if  }r6^  is  negligible. 

Example.     //  accuracy  /.s  required  to  four  decimal  places,  find 
the  sine  of  1  degree.

•01745'  =  '000005.     (This  does  not  aft'ect  the  first  four  places  so 

we  may  use  the  approximation  sin  6  =  6.)

CHAPTER   IV 

USE    OF   TABLES 

34.  It  has  been  shown  in  the  previous  chapters  that  the 
trigonometrical  ratios  of  any  angle  may  be  foancl  roughly  by 
drawing  to  scale  or  by  means  of  graphs.  By  methods  which  are 
explained  in  more  advanced  books  on  Trigonometry,  the  ratios 
can  be  calculated  to  any  required  degree  of  accuracy.  There  are 
many  collections  of  tables  published,  containing  not  only  the 
actual  trigonometrical  ratios  (the  natural  functions  as  they  are 
called)  but  also  the  logarithms  of  these  ratios.  These  collections 
differ  slightly  in  their  arrangement,  but  the  following  general 
remarks  apply  to  most  of  them. 

35.  Since  any  ratio  of  any  angle  is  equal  in  magnitude  to  the 
same  ratio  of  some  angle  less  than  90°,  it  is  necessary  to  tabulate 
the  ratios  only  for  angles  between  0°  and  90°.     Thus 

sin  156°  =  sin  (180° -24°)  =  sin  24°, 
cos  215°  =  cos  (1.^0°  +  35°)  =  -  cos  35°. 
But  the  tables  may  be  made  even  shorter,  for  any  function  of 
an  angle  between  45°  and  90°  is  equal  to   the    complementary 
function  of  an  angle  less  than  45°.    Thus 

sin  76°  =  sin  (90° -14°)  =  cos  14°, 
^  tan69°=  tan(90°-21°)  =  cot21°. 
This  fact  is  used  in  two  different  ways.  Some  tables  give  all 
the  ratios  for  angles  from  0°  to  45° ;  so  that  if,  for  instance, 
sin  72°  is  required,  it  must  be  looked  up  as  cos  18°.  Other  tables 
give  the  values  of  sine,  tangent,  and  secant  for  angles  from  0°to  90°  ; 
in  this  case,  cosine,  cotangent,  and  cosecant  must  be  looked  for  as 
the  si]ic,  tangent,  and  secant  respectively  of  the  complementary 
angle. 

The  slight  mental  work  involved  is  avoided  by  giving  each 
column  a  "  footing  "  as  well  as  a  heading.  Thus  '26892  is,  in  some 
tables,  found  on  a  page  headed  Natural  Sines,  on  a  level  with  15°  in 
the  extreme  left  hanl  column  and  under  36', i.e.  '26892  =  sin  15°36'. 


USE    OF   TABLES  71 

Bat  the  same  page  has  Natural  Cosines  at  the  bottom,  "26892  is  on 
same  level  as  74°  in  the  extreme  right-hand  column  and  above  24', 
i.e.  -26892  =  cos  74°24'. 

A  few  minutes'  inspection  will  make  the  arrangement  of  any  set 
of  tables  quite  clear. 

36.  Logarithmic  Functions.  Since  the  sine  and  cosine 
cannot  be  greater  than  unity,  their  logarithms  cannot  be  greater 
than  zero ;  hence  these  logarithms  have  a  negative  characteristic. 
In  order  to  avoid  difficulties  of  printing  it  has  been  the  custom  to 
add  10  to  all  these  logarithms,  and  to  the  other  logarithmic  func- 
tions. The  values  thus  tabulated  are  called  Tabular  Logarithms 
and  are  denoted  in  writing  by  L,  thus  L  tan  75^  =  log  tan  75''  +  10. 

Some  of  the  modern  tables  give  the  ordinary  logarithms  with 
the  negative  characteristics. 

When  tabular  logarithms  are  used  it  is  advisable  to  sub- 
tract 10  mentally  and  to  work  with  the  correct  logarithm. 

37.  Interpolation.  It  is  impossible  to  give  the  ratios  for  all 
angles.  Four-figure  tables  usually  give  values  for  every  6',  seven- 
figure  tables  for  every  1'.  Intermediate  values  may,  in  some  tables, 
be  found  from  side  columns  giving  the  differences^  as  in  the  case 
of  ordinary  logarithms.  If  these  side  columns  are  not  given,  the 
method  of  proportional  parts  *  must  be  used.  This  method  is 
equivalent  to  assuming  that  the  graph  of  the  tabulated  function 
may  be  treated  as  a  straight  line  for  portions  lying  between  the 
points  corresponding  to  two  consecutive  tabulated  values.  The 
practical  use  is  easily  followed  from  an  example  or  two. 

Example  i.     Given  that 

sm28°9'.=  -4717815,  ami  sin  28^  10'  =  -4720380, 
find  sm  28=^9' 43". 

sin  28^  10'  =  -4720380,  "000004275  x  43 

sin28''    9' =  -4717815.  '00017100 

Increase  for  60"  =  '0002565  ;  1282 


Increase  for  43"  =  |^  x  '0002565  '00018382 

=  '0001838; 
sin  28"  9' 43"  =-4719653.

In  practice  the  zeros  are  omitted  as  in  the  following  example. 
Example    ii.      Given     that     Zo^  cos  73°  15' =  1-4058617,    and

.".     required  angle  =  73°  15'  28"  to  the  nearest  second. 

Note.  It  is  important  to  recollect  that  cosine,  cotangent, 
cosecant,  and  their  logarithms  decrease  as  the  angle  in- 
creases ;  consequently  proportional  differences  must  be  suh- 
tr acted,  not  added. 

If  the  graphs  of  the  functions  are  carefully  drawn,  it  is  seen  that 
in  some  parts  they  approach  much  more  nearly  to  straight  lines 
than  in  others.  It  follows  that  the  method  of  proportional  parts 
is  more  accurate  for  some  angles  than  for  others.  For  a  complete 
discussion  of  Proportional  parts  see  Nixon's  Elementary  Plane 
Tngonometnj  (Clarendon  Press)  or  any  advanced  textbook.

Interpolation.  The  value  of  the  function  can  be  found  for  any 
intermediate  value  of  the  angle.  From  the  graph  it  is  seen  that 
v/  =  r07  when  x  =  50°,  and  y  =  1'54  when  x  =  81°.  Calculation 
shows  that  the  correct  values  are  1'075  and  1*542  respectively. 

This  is  a  useful  method  of  testing  the  accuracy  of  a  graph. 

Maximum  and  Minimum.  When,  as  x  increases,  ij  continually 
increases  to  a  certain  value  and  then  decreases,  that  value  is  said 
to  be  a  miaximum  ;  similarly,  when  j/  first  decreases  and  then 
increases  there  is  a  minimum  value.  These  maximum  and 
minimum  values  are  clearly  shown  on  the  graphs  ;  the  corre- 
sponding points  are  called  turning-points. 

From  the  graph  the  maximum  value  of 

3  sin  (.r  +  30°)  -  2  cos  {x  -  30°) 
is  found  to  be  1*62,  and  the  correi^ponding  angle  is  OO"".

Kate  of  change  of  the  function.  The  graph  shows  that,  when 
X  changes  from  15°  to  30°,  the  increase  in  y  is  more  than  when  x 
changes  from  60°  to  75°;  consequently  the  curve  is  steeper 
between  15°  and  30°  than  between  60°  and  75°.  Thus  the  rate  at 
which  y  changes  compared  with  x  is  shown  by  the  steepness  of 
the  curve. 

Join  two  points  P  and  Q  on  the  graph,  and  draw  PK,  QK 
parallel  to  the  axes  to  meet  in  K.     Then 

increase  in  v/       KP      ,  ■     n , i  i     nr^r.- 

^ — i'  =         =  tangent  of  the  angle  PQK 

increase  in  x      QK 

=  tangent  of  the  angle  PQ  makes  with  the  axis  of  x. 

This  is  called  the  slope  of  the  line  PQ. 

When  Q  approaches  indefinitely  near  to  P,  the  chord  PQ 
becomes  a  tangent.     Hence 

The  rate  of  increase  of  y  at  the  point  P  is  measured  by  the 
slope  of  the  tangent  at  the  point  P. 

Notice  that  the  slope  diminishes  in  the  neighbourhood  of  a 
turning-point  and  is  zero  at  the  turning-point  itself. 

39.  Solution  of  equations.  By  finding  where  two  graphs 
intersect  or  where  one  graph  intersects  the  axis  of  x  or  a  line 
pai'allel  to  the  axis,  equations  can  be  solved  just  as  in  Algebra. 

Example.     Solve  the  equation 

3  sm  (a;-}- 30°) -2 cm- (a; -30°)  -  r5. 

It  is  seen  in  Fig.  XIX  that  the  graph  cuts  the  line  whose 
equation  is  ?/  =  I'S  where  x  =  77°  and  x  =  120°.  These  are, 
therefore,  the  solutions  within  the  range  of  the  graph.

(i)  express  all  the  ratios  involved  in  terms  of  one  ratio, 
(ii)  find  the  value  of  tliis  ratio  by  ordinary  algebraical 
methods, 

(iii)  find  the  angle  from  the  tables, 
(iv)  give  the  general  solution.

Express  in  terms  of  sine,  -^

.'.     sin  ^  =  —  j5  or  1. 
Substituting  in  the  original  equation,  we  find  that : 

(i)  If  sin. r  =  —  j%,  cos^r  =  \'i  =  '9281. 
Hence  the  bounding  line  is  in  the  fourth  quadrant. 
From  the  tables  it  is  found  that  cos  22°  37'  =  -9231. 
Hence  the  smallest  positive  angle  satisfying  the  equation  is 

360"-22"37'  =  337''2r. 

But  we  may  add  or  subtract  any  multiple  of  360°  without 
altering  the  position  of  the  bounding  line ;  hence  any  angle 
satisfies  the  equation  whose  value  is  360°  n  + 337°  23',  where  n  is 
any  integer  positive  or  negative.     This  is  the  general  solution. 

(ii)  If  sin  a;  =  1,  cos.^  =  0. 
The  smallest  solution  is  x  =  90°. 
The  general  solution  is  360°n  +  90°  or  (4n  +  l)90°. 

Note.  The  same  difficulty  has  arisen  here  tliat  arises  in  Algebra 
when  the  original  equation  contains  surds.  After  we  have  squared, 
the  i-esulting  equation  is  exactly  the  same  as  if  we  liad  started  with 
the  equation  2  sin  x  —  3  cos  x  =  2.  For  this  reason,  after  we  found  the 
value  of  sin  9,  it  was  necessary  to  substitute  in  tlie  original  equation 
to  find  the  corresponding  value  of  cos  x.

General  Solutions. 


General  solutions  can  always  be  obtained  by  mentally 
considering  the  possible  positions  of  the  radius  vector  that 
give  angles  having  the  same  function  as  some  angle  already 
found.  This  is  what  has  been  done  in  the  two  preceding 
examples.  It  is,  however,  useful  to  know  the  formulae  that 
give  these  general  solutions. 

Find  an  expression  for  all  angles  that  have  a  sine 
equal  to  sin  oc. 

We  have  to  solve  sin  6  =  sin  a.

CHAPTER    V 

THE   RIGHT-ANGLED   TRIANGLE 

43.  In  the  previous  chapters  we  have  had  to  deal  with  only 
one  angle  at  a  time,  and  have  been  able  to  draw  one  of  the  lines 
containing  that  angle  horizontal.  In  applications  of  Trigonometry 
we  often  have  to  deal  with  several  angles  in  the  same  example, 
and  the  lines  containing  them  are  drawn  in  various  directions  ;  in 
such  examples  it  would  be  difficult  to  apply  the  definitions  of 
§  12.  But  it  has  been  shown  that  the  ratios  of  any  angle  can 
be  expressed  in  terms  of  the  ratios  of  an  acute  angle.  In  practice, 
therefore,  it  will  often  be  found  advisable  to  use  the  following 
definitions,  which  apply  only  to  acute  angles. 

In  a  right-angled  triangle  an  acute  angle  is  contained  by 
the  hypotenuse  and  one  of  the  other  sides  which  is  called 
the  side  adjacent  to  that  angle.  The  remaining  side  is 
called  the  side  opposite.     Then  in  Fig.  XX

These  are  clearly  the  same  definitions  as  in  §  12,  the  triangle 
BAC  taking  the  place  of  the  triangle  PON;  and  the  various 
formulae  proved  in  Chap.  Ill  can  be  proved  directly  from  the 
definitions  of  this  section. 

44.  It  is  usual  to  denote  the  angles  of  any  triangle  ABC  by 
the  capital  letters  A,  B,  C;  the  lengths  of  the  sides  opposite  the 
angles  A,  B,  C  are  denoted  by  a,  b,  c  respectively. 

Hence,  in  a  triangle  ABC,  right-angled  at  C,

(i)    cos  ^  =  sin  2?  =  sin  (90  —  ^) ;

of  the  angle  BAC  and  the  length  of  CD. 

5.  In  a  triangle,  right-angled  at  C,  a  perpendicular  is  let  fall 
from  C  to  the  hypotenuse ;  prove,  by  Trigonometry,  that  this 
perpendicular  is  a  mean  proportional  between  the  sides  containing 
the  ris^ht  angle.

Solution  of  Right-angled  Triangles. 

45.  The  angles  and  sides  of  a  triangle  are  sometimes 
called  the  six  parts  of  a  triangle.  The  determination  of  all 
the  parts,  when  only  some  of  the  parts  are  known,  is  called 
solving  the  triangle.  If  the  triangle  is  known  to  be  right- 
angled,  the  triangle  can  be  solved  if  one  side  and  one  other 
part  are  known. 

Example  i.  A  man,  standinci  100  feet  from  the  foot  of 
a  clmrelt  stee2)le,  finds  that  the  inu/le*  of  elevation  of  the  top 

*  If  a  i)er.son  is  looking  upwards,  the  angle  Ins  line  of  sight  makes 
with  the  horizontal  is  the  angle  of  elevation  ;  similar!}',  if  lie  is  look- 
ing downwards,  the  angle  his  line  of  sight  makes  with  the  horizontal 
is  the  angle  of  depression.

{The  student  sliould  revise  §§9  and  10  dealing  with  latitude  and 
longitude  and  the  points  of  the  compass.  [ 

46.  When  a  ship  is  sailing,  the  angle  between  its  direction  of 
sailing  and  the  meridian  the  ship  is  crossing  is  called  the  course. 

If  the  course  is  constant,  the  ship 
is  said  to  sail  on  a  rhumb-line. 
The  distance  between  two  positions 
of  the  ship  is  then  measured  along 
the  rhumb-line.  The  difference  of 
latitude  of  two  places  is  the  arc  of 
a  meridian  intercepted  between  the 
parallels  of  latitude  passing  through 
the  two  places.  The  departure 
'  between  two  meridians  is  the  dis- 

Fig.  XXVIII.  tance  between   the  two  meridians 

measured  along  a  parallel  of  lati- 
tude ;  thus  the  departure  between  any  two  given  meridians  is  not 
a  constant  but  diminishes  from  the  equator  to  the  poles.* 

47.  A  small  portion  of  the  earth's  surface  may  be  regarded  as 
a  plane  ;  for  distances  small,  compared  with  the  earth's  radius,  we 
may  therefore  use  the  formulae  of  Plane  Trigonometry. 

Plane  Sailing  is  the  name  given  to  that  part  of  navigation 
which  treats  the  surface  of  the  eaith  as  a  plane.  On  this  assump- 
tion the  meridians  become  parallel  straight  lines,  the  rhumb-line 
becomes  the  hypotenuse  of  a  right-angled  triangle  of  which  the 
departure  is  the  side  opposite  to  the  course,  and  the  difference  of 
latitude  is  the  side  adjacent.  Thus  problems  on  Plane  Sailing  are 
merely  examples  in  the  solution  of  right-angled  triangles. 

*  In  navigation  distances  are  usually  measured  in  nautical  miles  ; 
a  nautical  mile  is  the  length  of  an  arc  of  a  meridian  (or  the  equator) 
which  subtends  an  angle  of  1'  at  the  centre  of  the  eartli  ;  thus  a 
distance  of  75  nautical  miles  is  usually  written  75'.

Examples  V  c. 

(The  distances  are  given  in  nautical  miles.) 

1.  A  ship  sails  SE.  by  S.,  a  distance  81  miles;  what  is  her  de- 
parture and  difference  of  latitude  ? 

2.  A  ship  sails  N.  49"^  41'  W.,  a  distance  73  miles  ;   what  is  the 
departure  and  difference  of  latitude  ? 

3.  A  ship  sails  SSW.  until  its  departure  is  198  miles  ,  what  is  the 
distance  sailed  and  the  difference  of  latitude? 

4.  If  the  course  is  3^  points  W,  of  N.,  and  the  difference  of 
latitude  149  miles,  what  is  the  distance  ? 

5.  A  ship  sails  between  North  and  West,  maldng  a  difference  of 
latitude  157^  miles  and  departure  79  miles ;  what  is  the  course  ? 

6.  A  ship  sails  westward   247   miles  along  the   equator   from 
meridian  16"  E. ;  what  is  now  the  longitude  ? 

7.  A  ship  sails  247  miles  eastward  along  the  parallel  40"  N.  : 
what  is  the  change  in  longitude  ? 

8.  When  a  ship  sails  any   distance   (great   or  small)  along  a 
parallel  of  latitude,  show  that 

difference  of  longitude  in  minutes  =  departure  x  secant  of  latitude. 

9.  A  ship,  from  latitude  54' 22' 10"  N.,  sails  195^  miles  I  of  a 
point  S.  of  SE. ;  what  is  now  the  latitude  ? 

10.  Leaving  latitude  49'  37'  N.,  longitude  15'  22'  W.,  a  ship  sails 
SW.  by  W.  150  miles ;  find  the  new  latitude  and  longitude.

two  places  on  the  same  parallel,  the  length  of  the  arc  between

49.  Middle  Latitude  Sailing.  In  Middle  Latitude  Sailing, 
the  departure  between  two  places,  whose  latitudes  are  X  and  X',  is 
taken  to  be  the  departure  between  their  meridians,  measured  at 
the  latitude  |(X  +  X').     On  this  assumption, 

departure  =  diff.  of  longitude  x  cos  |(A  +  X'). 

50.  Traverse  Sailing,  If  a  ship  sails  on  different  courses, 
from  A  to  B,  from  B  to  C,  from  C  to  Z>,  &c.,  then,  by  the  methods 
of  Plane  Sailing,  the  total  changes  in  latitude  and  longitude  can 
be  worked  out.  This  is  called  the  method  of  Traverse  Sailing. 
This  method  can  only  be  used  when  the  whole  area  traversed  can  be 
regarded  as  plane  without  introducing  a  great  amount  of  error.

THE  TKIANGLE 

Several  formulae  connecting  the  sides  and  angles  of  a  triangle 
have  been  proved  in  the  examples  of  the  preceding  chapters. 
They  are  here  gathered  together  for  reference  and  proofs  are 
given.  Care  should  be  taken  that  the  proof  applies  when 
the  triangle  is  obtuse-angled ;  if  it  does  not,  a  separate  proof 
must  be  given.

THE   TRIANGLE 


58.   From  these  formulae  others  may  be  deduced. 

Example  i.     To  show  that  in  any  triangle 

cos  (A  +  B)  =  cos  AcosB  —  sin  A  sin  B. 
From  sine  formula  «sin  ^  — &siii  A  =  0.  (i) 

From  projection  formula     a  cos  B  +  h  cos  A  =  c.  (ii) 

Square  and  add,     a"^  +  &"  +  2  cch  (cos  A  cos  -B  —  sin  A  sin  B)  =  c^ 
From  cosine  formula         a'^  +  h'^  —  2  ah  cos  C  =  c^ 

It  follows  that 

cos  C  =  —  (cos  A  cos  ^  —  sin  ^  sin  B). 
From  the  angle  formula  C  =  180 -(^  +  -5), 

i.e.  cos  C=  —  cos  (^  +  jB). 

Hence  cos  (A  +  B)  =  cos  AcosB-~  sin  A  sin  B. 

Example  ii.    In  any  triangle 

sin  {A  —  B)  =  silt  A  cos  B  —  cos  A  sin  B. 
Multiply  together  equations  (i)  and  (ii)  above. 
a^  sin  ^  cos  5  -  h"^  sin  ^  cos  yl  -  ah  (sin  ^  cos  5  -  cos  A  sin  B)  =  0. 
From  Fig.  XXXVI  it  is  seen  that 
«2 sin  B  cos  B  =  BZ.ZC=  2''  triangle  BZC, 
and  h"^  sin  ^  cos  ^  =  2*^^  triangle  AZC 

=  2'Uriangle  .4'ZC, 
{ZA'=  ZA,  so  that  triangles  CZA,  CZA'  are  congruent). 
.-.     ci^  sm  B  cos  B -W  sm  A  cos  A  =  2 ''triangle  5C/1' 

^BC.CA' sin  BCA' 
=  ahsui{A  —  B). 


Comparing  this  with  the  result  above,  we  see  that 
sin  {A-B)  =  sin  AcosB-  cos  A  sin  B. 
This  result  can,  however,  be  obtained  more  quickly.

From  triangle  BCD,

Hence  a^  +  d'^-2  ad  cos  A  =  h"^  +  c"- +  2  be  cos  A, 

i.e.  2{ad  +  bc)cosA  =  a''  +  (P-{b''-hc''); 

2{ad  +  bc){l  +  cosA)  =  {a  +  dy-{b-c)'', 

and  2(((d  +  bc){l-cosA)  =  {b  +  c)''-{a-d)\

CHAPTER  VII     • 

SOLUTION   OF   TRIANGLES 

60.  It  is  known  from  Geometry  that,  if  three  parts  of  a 
triangle  are  given,  the  remaining  parts  can  in  some  cases  be 
found;  and  that,  in  other  cases,  relations  between  the  missing 
parts  may  be  found  even  though  their  exact  values  cannot  be 
determined.  When  actual  numbers  are  given,  results  can  be 
obtained  to  a  greater  degree  of  accuracy  by  Trigonometrical 
methods  than  by  drawing  to  scale.  In  all  cases  a  formula  is 
sought  which  shall  contain  the  three  given  letters  and  one 
unknown  letter. 

61.  Case  I.    Three  angles  given. 

The  angle  formula  shows  that  A  +  B+C  must  be  180°.  No 
formula  contains  the  three  angles  and  one  side  only  ;  but  from 

the  sine  formula,  viz.  -. — -  =  -. — .,  =  -. — -,  we  can  find  the  ratios 
sm  ^-1       sin  B      sm  C 

of  the  sides. 

62.  Case  II.    Two  angles  and  one  side  given. 

The  third  angle  can  be  found  immediately  since 
A  +  B+C=  180". 
Suppose  a  is  the  given  side  ;    and  it  is  required  to  find  b.     The 
formula  must  contain  a,  h,  and  two  of  the  angles ;  hence  we  use 
b     _     a 
sin  B       sin  A 
This   is    adapted  for   the   use   of  logarithms   as  it    involves    no 
addition  or  subtraction.    If  the  tables  in  use  give  the  logarithms  of 
the  cosecant,  it  may  be  advisable  to  use  the  following  logarithmic 
form  log  b  =  log  a  +  log  sin  B  +  log  cosec  A. 

63.  Case  III.  One  angle  and  the  two  sides  containing 
the  angle  are  given. 

Suppose  a,  b,  C  are  the  given  parts.  Then  the  cosine  formula 
c^  =  ci^ +  b'^  — 2  ab  cos  C  enables  us   to   determine   c.      When   c   is 


120  SOLUTION   OF   TRIANGLES 

determined,   the  remaining   angles   can   be  found   by  the    sine 
formula. 

This  method  is  of  practical  use  only  when  the  numbers  involved 
are  small ;  the  cosine  formula  is  not  adapted  for  the  use  of 
logarithms.     It  is  usual,  therefore,  to  use  the  formula  proved  in 

§  53,*  viz.  tan  1{A-B)  =  ^^  cot  I  C. 

This  determines  h{A—B)',  also  ^{A  +  B)  equals  the  complement 
of  I  C;  hence  A  and  B  are  found  by  adding  and  subtracting. 
The  value  of  c  is  then  calculated  by  the  sine  formula. 

64.  Case  IV.  One  angle  and  the  two  sides  not 
containing  the  angle  are  given. 

Suppose  a,  h,  A  are  given.  Then  we  can  determine  c  from  the 
formula  a^  =  b'^  +  c'^  —  2bc  cos  A. 

This  is  a  quadratic  equation  to  determine  c,  and  it  is  seen  that 
there  is  the  possibility  of  two  distinct  values  for  c.  This  is  also 
seen  from  the  geometrical  construction.  On  this  account  this 
case  is  usually  known  as  the  Ambiguous  Case. 

If  there  are  two  values  of  c,  there  will  be  two  values  for  B  and 
for  C.    This  is  seen  independently  if  the  sine  formula  is  used 
(as  it  usually  is,  on  account  of  its  adaptability  for  logarithms)  : 
sin  B  _  sin  A 
b  a 

Suppose  that  this  leads  to  the  result 
sin  B  =  sin  x. 

Then  B  =  x  or  180 -ic. 

This  shows  that,  if  there  are  two  solutions,  those  two  solutions 
are  supplementary.  Hence  one  of  the  solutions  will  be  obtuse. 
Preliminary  geometrical  considerations  often  show  that  there  can 
be  only  one  solution. 

(i)  If  the  given  angle  A  is  not  acute,  then  B  must  be  acute  and 
the  obtuse-angled  solution  must  be  rejected. 

(ii)  If  a>b  or  =  h,  then  A> B  or  =  B;  consequently  B 
cannot  be  obtuse. 

Exercises.      When  a,  b,  A  are  given,  show  (i)  from  the  geo-

metrical  solution,    (ii)   from  the  cosine   formula,   (iii)  from   the 
sine  formula,  that 

(a)  there  is  no  solution,  if  a<h  sin  A  ; 

(6)  there  is  one  solution  only,  if  a  =  &  sin  ^  ; 

(c)  there  are  two  solutions,  if  a>68in^  but  <  &; 

[d)  there  is  one  solution  only,  if  «  >  &. 

Point  out  the  difference  in  nature  of  the  one  solution  in  {h) 
and  [d). 

65.  Case  V.    Three  sides  given. 

Here  again  the  cosine  formula  may  be  used,  if  the  numbers 
involved  are  not  inconveniently  large.     For  logarithmic  calcula- 
tion the  formula  for  sin^^,  cos|^,  or  tan|^l  is  used.     These 
half-angle  formulae  are  derived  from  the  cosine  formula.

Similarly  cos  ^  A  =  \  ~^ — ' 


Divide  tan^A=J^^:^l^ 

^  \      s(s-a) 


Of  these  three  formulae  it  is  best  to  use  the  tangent  formula ;  for 
the  logarithms  used  in  finding  tan  4  A  are  the  same  as  those  required 
for  finding  tan  i  B  or  tan  I  C.  If  only  one  angle  lias  to  be  found,  it  is 
indifferent  which  formula  is  used. 

There  is  a  simple  geometrical  proof  for  tan  \  A. 

*  In  old  books  on  Trigonometry  the  '  haversinc '  was  used  for 
solving  triangles,  and  the  values  of  log  haversinc  were  tabulated  in 
mathematical  tables.  The  haversinc  equals  half  the  versed  sine  ; 
hence  haversin  -4  =  J  versin  A  =  (1  — cos^)-^2  =  sin^  \  A.  The  for- 
mula for  solution  of  the  triangle  then  becomes 

havei'sin  A  =  (s—b)  (s  —  c)-T-bc.

scale  ;  the  known  lengths  and  angles  should  be  indicated 
in  the  figure.  It  may  be  necessary  to  solve,  or  partly  solve, 
more  than  one  triangle  before  the  required  measurement  is 
found.  The  scheme  for  working  should  be  carefully  thought 
out  before  the  work  is  actually  begun. 

Example  i.  Wishing  to  find  the  height  of  a  house  standing 
on  the  summit  of  a  hill  of  uniform  slope,  I  descended  the  hill 
for  40  feet,  and  then  found  the  height  subtended  an  angle  of 
34°  18'.  On  descending  a  further  distance  of  60  feet,  I  found 
the  subtended  angle  to  be  19°  15'.  Find  the  height  of  the 
house.

whore  r  is  radius  of  earth,  h  is  height  of  place  of  observation,  d  is

Hence  d  =  \/2  rh-\-h'^',

67.  If  from  the  extremities  of  u  line  FQ,  of  definite 
length,  perpendiculars  PK,  QL  are  let  fall  on  a  line  AB, 
which  may  be  produced  if  necessary,  then  KL  is  called  the 
Projection  of  PQ  on  the  line  AB. 

Projections  are  subject  to  the  same 
convention  of  sign  as  are  abscissae 
and  ordinates.  Thus,  in  the  above 
figure,  KL  is  positive,  but  LK  is 
negative.  It  follows  that  the  projec- 
tion of  PQ  is  not  the  same  as  the  ^ 
projection  of  QP,  so  that  the  order 
of  the  letters  in  naming  a  line  is 
of  great  importance  when   we   are 

dealing  with  projection.  When  the  direction  of  the  line  is  to  be 
taken  into  account  as  well  as  its  length,  it  is  called  a  directed 
length  ;  and  we  shall,  in  future,  use  the  symbol  {PQ)  *  to  denote 
the  directed  length  of  the  line  from  Pto  Q.  The  number  of  unit>  of 
length  in  that  line  we  shall  continue  to  denote  by  the  symbol  I'Q. 

Thus,  in  Fig.  XLIY,  the  projection  of  (PQ)  is  (KL), 
and  the  projection  of  [QP)  is  {LK). 

Note.  When  we  speak  of  the  sum  of  directed  lengths  in  the  same 
straight  line,  tlie  algebraical  sum  is  always  meant.  Geometrically 
this  means  that  we  require  the  directed  length  between  the  starting- 
point  and  final  point,  and  not  the  length  of  the  actual  path  traversed. 

68.  If  the  length  of  PQ  is  I,  and  if  6  is  the  angle 
between  PQ  and  the  line  AB,  then 

projection  of  {PQ)  on  AB  =  I  cos  0. 


This  is  usually  written  PQ. 


140  PROJECTION.     VECTORS 

Some  care  is  necessary  in  applying  this  formula ;  the  safest 
plan  is  to  keep  ?  and  6  both  positive. 

Consider,  for  instance,  the  projection  of  {QP)  in  Fig.  XLV. 

Imagine  a  line  drawn  from  the  initial  point  Q  parallel  to  the 
line  AB.  Then  it  is  seen  that  the  angle  between  {QP)  and  AB 
is  6  + IT,  while  the  length  ^Pis  I. 

Hence  projection  of  {QP)  on  AB  =  lcos{d  +  7r)  =  -I cos  6, 
Two  other  methods  of  treatment  give  the  same  result. 


A  B 

Fig.  XLV. 

In  Fig.  XLV  the  line  QX  is  actually  drawn  parallel  to  AB ;  but 
it  is  usually  sufficient  to  imagine  it.  Then  we  may  take  the  angle 
between  (QP)  and  QX  to  be  the  negative  angle  XQP,  i.  e. 
—  (n  —  6);  the  length  ^Pis  positive  so  that 

projection  of  QP  =  lcos{  —  Tr  —  6)  =  —  Zcos  d. 

Or  we  may  regard  6  as  being  the  angle  between  {QP)  and  QX ; 
but  this  requires  that  the  length  of  {QP)  should  be  taken  as  —I, 
and  so  the  projection  of  (QP)  on  AB  =  -/cos  d. 

It  will  be  found  that,  in  all  cases,  I  cos  0  gives  both  the 
magnitude  and  sign  of  the  projection  of  (PQ)  on  AB. 
Similarly, 

the  projection  of  (PQ)  on  a  line  perpendicular  to  AB

Jhie  of  two   sides   {AB),  (BC)  of  (a   triangle  is   equal   to  the

In  either  of  tbe  above  figures  (or  in  any  other  figure) 
projection  of  (.45)  + projection  of  (BC)  =  {ah)  +  {hc)

Proposition  B.  The  sum  of  the  projections  on  any  line  of 
the  three  sides  {AB),  {BC),  {CA)  of  a  triangle  is  zero. 

Sum  of  projections  of  iAB),  iBC),  {CA)  =  {ah)  +  (be)  +  (ca). 

Hence  on  the  line  of  i^rojection  we  start  at  the  point  a  and 
finish  at  the  same  point,  so  that  the  distance  between  the  initial 
and  final  points  is    zero.    That  is,   the   sum    of  the   projections

(These  examples  should  be  verified  by  drawing  a  figure  to  scale.) 

1.  Show  that  the  projection  of  a  line  on  a  line  parallel  to  itself 
is  equal  to  the  projected  line,  and  that  the  projection  of  a  line  on 
a  line  perpendicular  to  itself  is  zero. 

2.  A  line  of  length  r,  making  an  angle  6  with  OX  is  projected

and  the  angle  ABC  is  beneath  the  rods ;  by  projecting  horizon- 
tally and  vertically,  find  the  inclination  of  the  line  ^C  to  the

4.  By  projecting  a  diagonal  and  two  sides  of  a  square  on  a  line 
making  an  angle  .4'  with  one  of  the  sides,  prove  that 

cos  (.4  +  45'')  =  (cos  A  -  sin  A)  -r  >/2. 

Find  a  similar  value  for  sinu-1 +  45"). 

5.  PQR  is  a  triangle  right-angled  at  Q,  having  the  angle  at  P 
equal  to  A' ;  FQ  is  inclined  to  OX  at  an  angle  B^. 

Prove  by  projection  that 

cos  {A  +  B)  =  cos  A  cos  B  —  sin  A  sin  B, 
and  sin  (A  +  B)  =  sin  A  cos  B  +  cos  A  sin  B. 


70.  If  the  projections  of  a  line  on  two  lines  at  right  angles  are 
given,  the  length  and  direction  of  the  projected  line  can  be  found, 
but  not  its  actual  position. 

Let  r  be  the  length  of  the  line  and  0  the  angle  it  makes  with 
one  of  the  lines  of  projection.  Then  r  cos  S  and  rsin  6  are  known  ; 
suppose  these  values  are  x  and  y  respectively,  so  that  >'cos^  =  x 
and  rsin  6  =  ij. 


Then  r  =  a/x-  +  i/-  and  tan  6  =  y/x. 

The  projected  line  has  therefore  a  definite  length  and  a  definite 
direction ;  it  is  the  simplest  example  of  a  group  of  quantities 
called  vector  quantities  or  vectors. 

71.  A  quantity  which  possesses  a  direction  as  well  as 
magnitude  is  called  a  vector.  Yelocities  and  forces  are 
examples  of  such  quantities.  The  magnitude  and  direction 
can  be  represented  by  the  length  and  direction  of  a  directed 
straight  line  ;  hence  the  properties  of  a  directed  straight

72.  Vector  addition  or  Composition  of  Vectors. 

A  displacement  from  A  to  B  followed  by  a  displacement  from 
B  to  C  produces  the  same  result  as  a  single  displacement  from 
^to  a

Fig.  XLVIir. 

Or  we  may  regard  the  displacements  as  being  simultaneous. 

Suppose  a  point  to  start  from  A  and  move  along  AB,  and  while 
this  point  is  moving,  suppose  the  line  AB  to  move  parallel  to 
itself,  the  point  B  moving  to  C  while  the  point  travels  from 
A  to  B.  The  result  of  the  two  simultaneous  displacements  is  that 
the  point  has  travelled  from  A  to  C. 

Hence  the  vector  (AC)  is  called  the  resultant  of  the  vectors 
(AB)  and  (BC). 

Finding  one  quantity  equivalent  to  two  or  more  of  the  same 
kind  is  equivalent  to  the  process  of  addition  in  Arithmetic. 

If  we  use  the  sign  +  to  denote  this  process,  we  have 
{AC)  =  {AB)  +  {BC). 

If  P,  Q,  and  R  are  the  respective  magnitudes  of  the  vectors 
represented  by  {AB\  {BC),  and  {AC),  and  if  6  is  the  angle 
between  the  directions  of  {AB)  and  {BC)  (in  Fig.  XL VIII  the 
angle  ABC  is  the  supplement  of  6) ; 

then  112  ^  P2  +  Q2  +  2  PQ  cos  6. 

Similarly,  if  a  number  of  vectors  are  represented  by  the  directed 
lengths  {AB),  {BC),  {CD)...{HK),  then  their  resultant  is  repre- 
sented by  the  directed  length  {AK).

In  Fig.  XLVIII  the  vector  {AG)  may  be  replaced  by  the 
two  vectors  (AB)  and  {BC).  Viewed  in  this  light  they  are 
called  the  components  of  the  vector  (AC).

When  we  talk  of  the  component  of  a  vector  in  a  given  direction, 
and  no  mention  is  made  of  the  direction  of  the  other  component, 
it  is  understood  that  the  other  component  is  at  right  angles  to  the 

first.

If  (OP)  in  Fig.  XLIX  represents  a  vector  of  magnitude  E  inclined 
at  an  angle  6  to  OX,  then  its  projection  {OX)  represents  the 
component  along  OX,  and  the  projection  (XP)  represents  the 
component  perpendicular  to  OX. 

The  vector  is  now  said  to  be  resolved  along  and  perpendicular 
to  OX. 

Resolving  along  OX,  we  find  that  the  component  is  Rcosd. 

Resolving  peqDendicular  to  OX,  we  find  that  the  component  is 
Psin^. 

74.  All  the  work  of  §  69  on  projections  can  be  applied  to 
vectors  and  their  components.  For  instance,  Proposition  C  gives 
the  following  proposition : 

The  sum  of  the  components  of  any  number  of  vectors  in  a  given 
direction  is  equal  to  the  component  of  their  resultant  in  that 
direction.

Projection  on  a  Plane. 

75.  If  from  every  point  in  a  line,  atniight  or  curved,  a  perpen- 
dicular be  let  fall  on  a  plane,  the  locuj;  of  the  feet  of  the 
perpendiculars  is  called  the  projection  of  the  line  on  the  plane. 

If  from  every  point  in  the  boundary  of  a  surface  a  perpendicular 
be  let  fall  on  a  plane,  the  area  bounded  by  the  locus  of  the  feet 
of  the  perpendiculars  is  called  the  projection  of  the  surface  on 
the  plane. 

76.  The  angle  between  a  straight  line  and  its  projection  on 
a  plane  is  called  the  angle  between  the  straight  line  and  the 
plane.  It  follows  that  the  projection  on  a  plane  of  a  straight  line 
of  length  I,  making  an  angle  a  with  the  plane,  is  I  cos  (X. 

Any  two  planes,  not  parallel,  intersect  in  a  straight  line.  If 
from  any  point  P  in  this  line  two  perpendiculars  FA,  PB  are 
drawn  to  it,  one  in  each  plane,  then  the  angle  APB  measures  the 
angle  between  the  planes. 

77.  If  any  plane  surface,  of  area  A,  is  projected  on  a 
plane  making  an  angle  a  with  its  own  plane  ;  then  the  area 
of  the  projection  is  A  cos  ol. 

*Step  I.  Consider  a  rectangle  ABCD,  having  the  side  AB 
parallel  to  the  plane  of  projection,  and  the  side  BC  making  an 
angle  0(  with  that  plane  ;  then  y  is  the  angle  between  the  plane 
of  the  rectangle  and  the  plane  of  projection. 

Then,  in  Fig.  L,  abed  is  the  projection  of  ABCD.

Now  Bb  is  perpendicular  to  the  plane  abed,  and  therefore  to  the

Hence  art-a  of  abed  =  abxbc

=  area  of  ABCD  x  cos  CX. 

Step  II.  Consider  a  plane  area  with  curved  or  rectilinear 
boundary.  In  the  plane  of  the  figure  draw  any  line  PQ  parallel 
to  the  plane  of  projection.  Then  in  the  area  we  can  inscribe 
a  number  of  rectangles  having  the  short  sides  parallel  to  PQ  and 
the  longer  sides  perpendicular  to  PQ. 


Fig.  LI. 


The  sum  of  these  rectangles  is  less^than  the  original  area,  but  may 
be  made  to  differ  from  that  area  by  as  small  a  quantity  as  we  please  by 
making  their  width  small  enough  ;  and  then  the  sum  of  their  projec- 
tions will  differ  from  tlie  projection  of  the  area  by  an  even  smaller 
quantity.  Hence  in  the  limit,  when  the  width  is  indefinitely  small, 
the  sum  of  each  set  of  rectangle;s  will  equal  the  area  of  the  corre- 
sponding circumscribing  figure.

geometrical  operation  of  turning  through  two  right  angles  repre- 
sents the  algebraical  operation  of  multiplying  by  -1.  Let  us 
consider  what  the  operation  of  turning  through  one  right  angle 
represents. 

This  is  an  operation  which,  if  performed  twice  in  succession, 
turns  through  two  right  angles,  which  represents  multiplica- 
tion by  —  1. 

But  the  algebraical  operation  of  multiplying  by  aZ-I,  if 
performed  twice  in  succession,  multiplies  by  —1. 

Hence  it  seems  reasonable  that  the  operation  of  turning  a  vector 
line  through  a  right  angle  represents  the  algebraical  operation 
of  multiplying  by  \/-l  ;  that  is,  (OB)  at  right  angles  to  (OA) 
represents  r x  V^—  1,    i.e. -%/  — Ir. 

In  future  we  shall  denote  \/—l  by  /.

cc  +  ii/   is  represented  by  a  vector  line  of  length   or  followed  by

by  a  vector  line  of  length    >v/.r^  +  f/^,

PEOJECTIO^\     VECTORS  151 

Or,  in  words,  the  vector  line  of  length  r,  in  direction  ^,  repre- 
sents the  magnitude  r  multiplied  by  cos ^  + /sin  ^.  This  gives  the 
important  result  that 

turning  through  an  angle  6  represents  multiplication  by 

cos^  +  j  sin^. 
Hence 
turning  twice  in  succession  through  d  represents  multipli- 
cation by  cos  ^  +  /sin  B  repeated  twice  ; 
i.e.  turning  through  26  represents  multiplication  ly 

(cos  0  +  /  sin  6f  ; 
but  turning  through  2  d  represents  multiplication  by 
(cos2^  +  /sin2^). 
Hence  the  suggested  interpretation  of  -y/— 1  or  /,  leads  to  the 
identity  fcos 26+ i sin  2  ^)  =  (cos ^  +  j  sin  6)-. 

If  this  is  verified  by  algebraic  multiplication  and  by  the  use  of 
the  ordinary  formulae  for  cos  2^  and  sin  2^,  it  will  be  found 
correct. 

Carrying  on  the  argument  in  the  same  way,  we  deduce  that 
(cos  7id  +  i  sin  n 6)  =  (cos  6  +  i  sin  6)'\ 
where  n  is  any  positive  integer. 

Again,  turning  through  a  half  6  is  an  operation  which,  if  re- 
peated, turns  through  6,  and,  therefore,  represents  a  multiplication 
which,  if  repeated,  multiplies  by  cos  6  +  /  ?in  6  ;

and  (  cos  -  ^  +  /  sin  -  ^  )  =  ( cos  ^  -f  /  sin  6)  i  • 

a  '1    / 

Lastly,  turning  through  -6  cancels  turning  through  6,  and, 

therefore,  represents  an  operation  which  cancels  multiplication 

by  (cos  (9+  i%\n6)  ; 

i.e.  {co8(-^)  +  /sin(-^)y  =  .cos^  + /sin^;-'. 

r!fimilarly,

We  have  now  clediiced  from  the  geometrical  interpretation 
of  \/-l.  that 

(cosn^  +  isinn^)  =  (cos  ^  +  i  sin  ^)" 
for  all  real  values  of  n. 

This  is  known  as  De  Moivre's  Theorem. 

Example.  Use  De  Mo iv re  s  Theorem  to  find  \^\. 
cos  2  nTT  =  1,  sin  2  « 77  =  0, 
where  n  is  zero  or  any  integer. 

Hence  1  =  cos2«7r-f /sin  2;?7r  ;

If  >?-0,  >v/r=  cosO  +  /sinO  =  1. 

If  n  =  1,  ^T  ^  cos  Itt  +  /  sin  §77  =  -^  ( -  1  +  /  yS). 

If  n  =  2,    ^r=cos^7r  +  /sin^n-  =  H-1-?V3). 

If  ;^  =  3,    v^l  =  cos27r  +  »  sin2n- =1. 

For  other  values  of  n  it  is  seen  that  the  three  roots  are  repeated, 
Hence  De  Moivre's  Theorem  shows  that  there  are  three  different 
cube  roots  of  unity.  They  are,  of  course,  the  three  roots  of  the 
equation  ic^  — 1  =  0.  The  student  should  verify  that  the  same 
roots  are  obtained  hy  Algebra.

Fig.  LV. 


Let  OX  be  the  initial  line  ;  and  let  the  revolving  line  first  turn, 
through  the  angle  A  to  the  position  OA  and  then  continue  to 
turn  through  an  additional  angle  B  to  the  position  OB.   Then  OB  is 
the  bounding  line  of  the  angle  A  +  B.     Along  OB  measure  a  length 
OP=r  units. 

Project  OP  on  the  initial  line,  produced  backwards  if  necessary 
also  project  OP  on  OA,  produced  backwards  if  necessary. 

Figures  LIV  and  LV  show  two  of  the  many  possible  cases. 


156     FORMULAE  FOR  FUNCTIONS  OF  THE  SUM 

In  all  cases 
the  projection  of  (OP)  on  OX 

=  sum  of  the  projections  of  (OK)  and  (KP)  on  OX ; 
i.e.  rcos{A  +  B)  =  (OK)  cos  A +  {KP)  cos  (^  +  90) 
=  r  cos  B  cos  A  +  r  sin  B  {  —  sin  A). 
.  Hence  cos  (A  +  B)  =  cos  ^  cos  £  —  sin  A  sin  B. * 

Several  proofs  of  this  have  already  been  given,  but  the  earlier 
proofs  have  implied  that  A  and  B  are  together  less  than  two  right 
angles  ;  this  proof  applies  whatever  be  the  values  of  A  and  B. 

Exercises,  (i)  Deduce  the  formula  for  sin  (A  +  B)  by  substitu- 
ting 90  -v4  in  place  of  A,  and  -B  m  place  of  B. 

(ii)  By  similar  substitutions  deduce  the  formulae  for  cos  {A  —  B) 
and  sin(.4  — J5). 

(iii)  By  projecting  perpendicular  to  OX,  find  the  expanded 
form  of  sin  {A  -f  B). 

(iv)  Modify  the  construction  so  as  to  prove  directly,  by  pro- 
jection, the  formula  for  sin  (A-B)  and  cos  (A~B). 

(v)  Complete  the  following  formulae  : 
cos  {A  -¥B)  = 
cosU-5)  = 
nn{A  +  B)  = 
sin(^-^)  = 

(vi)  Learn  these  formulae  in  woids,  as  : 

cos  sum  =  cos  cos  -  sin  sin. 


*  When  Fig.  LV  is  being  used  it  must  be  recollected  that  {OK)  is 
negative,  and  tliat  its  inclination  to  OX  is  XOA  not  A'OK,  see  §  68, 
If  (07v)  is  regarded  as  positive,  its  actual  length  is  — r  cos  B  ;  but  the 
angle  is  tlien  JCOK,  the  cosine  of  wliich  is  —cos  A.  Whatever  way  it 
is  taken,  the  projection  of  {OK)  on  OA'  is  found  to  be  r  cos  £  cos  A.

82.  The  followinrr  proof  does  not  involve  any  knowledge  of 
projection ;  its  chief  drawback  is  that  it  applies  only  to  the  case 
when  A  +  B  is  less  than  a  right  angle.  It  is  easily  modified  to 
suit  any  other  given  case. 


Let  XOA  =  A  and  AOB  ^  B  ; 
then  XOB  =  A  +  B,  and  in  Fig.  L VI  is  less  than  90°. 

Take  a  point  P in  the  bounding  line  oi  A  +  B; 
let  fall    PN  perpendicular  to  OX-,

Now  angle  LPK  =  90°  -  LKP  =  LKO  =  A  ;  therefore

83.  Sums  and  difi'erences  of  sines  or  cosines  ex- 
pressed as  products. 

These  formulae  are  most  easily  derived  from  the  formulae  of 
§  81,  as  suggested  in  Examples  IX  «.  They  can  be  proved  inde- 
l)endently  by  projection. 

Make  the  angle  XOA  =  .1  and  the  angle  XOB  =  B.* 
On  OA  and  OB  take  lengths  OP,  OQ  respectively,  each  equal  to

Then  the  angles  BOP,  ROQ  each  equal  1{A-B) ;  and  the  angle

From  congruent  triangles  EP  =  RQ,  and  PRO  is  a  right  angle. 

The  projection  of  (OP)  =  sum  of  projections  of  (OR)  and  (RP), 
and  the  projection  of  (0^;  =  sum  of  projections  of  (02?)  and  (RQ). 

*  Notice  the  difference  between  tbi>  construction  and  tbc  construc- 
tion of  §  81. 


160     FORMULAE  FOR  SUM  OR  DIFFERENCE  OF 

.•.  projection  of  ( OP j  +  projection   of  (0^)^*2'^  projection  of 
(OR),  since  projections  of  {HP)  and  (BQ)  are  equal  but  opposite. 
Projecting  on  a  line  perpendicular  to  OX,  we  have 

r  sin  A  +  r  sin  B  =  2'^''  the  projection  of  {OB). 
But  {OR)  is  the  projection  of  {OP)  on  the  direction  OR, 
i.e.  {OR)  =  rco&\{A-B). 

rsin^  +  rsin  J5  =  2rco&\{A-B)^m\{A  +  B). 
Hence        sin  ^  +  sin  £  =  2 sin  ^ (^  +  B)  cos  \{A-B). 
From  the  same  figure,  by  projection  on  OX,  we  have 
cos^  +  cosjB  =  2cos|(^  +  jB)cos^(^-jB). 
Again,  projection  of  (OP) -projection  of  (0$)  =  2^^  projection 
of  {RP). 

Hence         sin^  —  sin  P  =  2  cos  |  (A  +  P)  sin  \{A  —  B), 

cos^-cosP=  -2sin|(^-P)sin  J(^  +  P). 
The  proofs  apply  to  all  cases  whatever  be  the  magnitudes  of 
A  and  P. 

The  reason  for  the  negative  sign  in  the  last  of  these  formulae  is 
obvious,  for,  if  A>  B,  then  cos  A  <  cos  P. 

It  is  useful  to  learn  the  formulae  in  words,  it  being  understood 
in  all  cases  that  the  greater  angle  is  put  first. 

sine  +  sine  =  2  sine  half  sum  cos  half  difference. 


84.  Products  of  sines  and  cosines  expressed  as  sums 
or  differences. 

In  the  formulae  of  the  last  section  put 

i(^  +  P)  =  X,  \{A-B)=Y', 
so  that  A^X+Y,  B  =  X-Y. 

Then  sin(X+  r)  +  sin  {X-  Y)  =  2  sin  X  cos  Y, 

i.  e.  2  sin  X  cos  Y  =  sin  {X+  F)  +  sin(X-  Y). 

Similar  results  are  obtained  from  the  other  formulae.     If  we 
replace  X  by  ^  and  Y  by  P,  the  formulae  become 
2  sin  ^  cos  P  =  sin  (.1  +  P)  +  sin  (.1  -  P), 
2  cos  .1  sin  B  =  sin  (.1  +  P)  -  sin  (.1  -  P), 
2  cos.l  cos  P  =  cos  {A  +  P)  -f  cos  {A  -  B), 
2  sin  A  sin  P  ^  cos  (.1  -  P)  -  cos  {A  +  P). 
These  are  more  easily  proved  direct  from  the  A-vB  and  A—B 
formulae. 


FUNCTIONS   OF   TWO  ANGLES  161 

In  using  these  formulae  it  is  usual  (but  not  necessary)  to  put  the 
greater  angle  first ;  this  shows  why  there  are  distinct  formulae  for 
2  sin  .4  cos  i?  and  2  cos  .4  sin  i?. 

Express  the  four  formulae  in  words : 

Twice  sine  cos  =  sin  sum  +  sin  difference. 


Examples  IX  b. 

1.  Apply  the  formulae  of  §§  83,  84  to  the  following  cases  and

(i)  A  =    70°,  B  =  30° ;  (iii)  A  =  72°,  5  =  18°; 

(ii)  A  =  110°,  5  =  75°  ;  (iv)  A  =  78°,  B  =  46°. 

2.  Prove,  from  the  formula  for  sin  A  +  sin  B,  that

Verify  these  by  squaring  and  adding.

Formulae  for  the  double  angle  and  half- angle. 

85.  It  lias  already  been  shown  in  §  51  that 

sin  2  ^  =  2  sin  A  cos  A; 
cos  2A  =  co&'^A  -  sin^^ 
=  l-2sin2^ 
=  2jiQsM-l. , 
The  proof  there  given  assumed  that  2  J.  is  less  than  180°. 
If  we  put  A  instead  of  B  in  the  A  +  B  formulae  the  same  results 
are  obtained  ;  thus  they  are  true  for  all  values  of  ^. 

The  results  can  easily  be  proved  independently  by  projection ; 
the  proofs  are  the  same  as  in  §  81,  A  taking  the  place  of  B. 

86.  From  the  last  section,  by  putting  -^^  in  place  of  A,  we 
have  cos'*  ^A  —  sin'^  -|  J.  =  cos  A  ; 

also  cos'^^^  +  sin^^  J.  =  1. 

Add  2cos^i^  =  l  +  cosX 

Subtract  2  sin^  ^A  =  1-  cos  A. 

Hence  cos^^  =  +  Kv^l +  cos^) ; 

sin|^=  +|(-v/l -cos^). 
If  the  value  of  A  is  given,  there  is  no  ambiguity  of  sign.     If,  for 
instance,  A  =  140°,   then  ^A  =  70°,  and  the  sine  and  cosine  are 
both   positive;   if  ^  =  264°,   then  -^.4  =  132°,   and    the    sine   is 
positive,  the  cosine  negative. 

If  the  value  of  cos^  is  given  but  not  the  value  of  A,  the 

ambiguity  cannot  be  removed.     Suppose  cos  .4  =  ^,  then  A  may 

have  any  value  of  the  form  360°  n  ±  60°.    Hence  I A  may  have  any 

value  given  by  180° «  +  30°.    If  we  tabulate  these  values,  we  have

89.  The  preceding  formulae  load  to  a  number  of  useful  identities 
in  the  cases  where  A  +  B  +  C=90°  or  180".  The  method  of  dealing

hut  A  +  B+C=180'';    .'.  IA  +  1{B+ C)  =  90. 

Hence  tan  |(5+  C)  =  tan  (90  -M)  =  cotj^. 

b  —  c 
Substituting  above,       tan  ^(-B  -  C)  = cot  ^A. 

This  formula  has  been  proved  geometrically  in  §  53  ;  it  is  usually 
proved  by  the  method  given  above. 

Example  ii.     In  any  triangle 

^^~~cUS^-\-€o^^  +  cosC  =  1  +  4  sin  i  A  sin  J  B  sin  i  C.

=  2sin|Ccosi(^-5)  +  l-2sin|Ccos^(^  +  J5), 

since  ^C  =  %-l{A  +  B) 
=  l  +  2sin|C(cosi^-^-cos^^  +  ^) 
=  l+4sin|^sin^5sin"?C. 

The  symbol  2  cos  A  is  sometimes  used  to  denote 

cos^  +  cos5  +  cos  C; 

and  nsin^  to  denote  sin  ^  sin  5  sin  C.    The  above  result  can  be 
written:  2  cos^  =  1  4-4nsin^^.

Example  iii.    In  any  triangle  ^cos'^A  =  l  —  2Yicos  A. 

(Questions  involving  the  sum  of  the  squares  of  sines  or  cosines  are 

usually  solved  by  expressing  these  squares  in  terms  of  the  cosine  of 

the  double  angle.) 

2  2  cosM  =  2  cos2  A +  2  cos'^B  +  2  cos^  C 

=  1  +  cos  2^  + 1  +  cos  25  +  2  cos^ C.   (Note  that  one  angle 

is  left  unchanged.) 
.-.  2  cos^^  =  1  +  cos  (^  +  B)  cos  (A-B)  +  cos^  C 

=  1  -  cos  C cos  (^-5) -cos  Ccos  (A  +  B), 

since  C=  180 -(^  +  5) 
=  1  -  cos  C  [cos  {A  ~  B)-cos(A  +  B)] 
=  1—2  cos  Acqs B cos  C. 

Example  iv.     Solve  the  eqimtion

Rearrange        sin  ^  +  sin  4  ^  +  sin  2  ^  +  sin  3  ^  =  0. 
Use  formula  for  sum  of  two  sines

.*.  either  sin  f  ^  =  0  or  cosp+cos^^  =  0 
i.e.  -^6  =  nrr     or     2  cos^cos  ^^  =  0  : 

i.e.  6  =  ^nrr,  or  cos  ^  =  0  or  cos^^  =  0 

i.e.  ^=(2n  +  l)*7r     or     |^  =  (2/i4- l)i7r.

These  five-figure  tables  are  intended  to  give  results 
correct  to  four  figures  ;  tlie  fifth  figure  in  tlie  answer  may 
be  inaccurate. 

The  decimal  point  is  printed  before  all  the  logarithms 
of  numbers  ;  it  is  hoped  that  this  will  obviate  the  common 
mistake  of  reading  off  logarithms  instead  of  antilogarithms, 
and  vice -versa. 

The  trigonometrical  tables  are  arranged  so  that,  at  one 
opening  of  the  tables,  all  the  functions  of  an  angle  may 
be  found  on  the  left-hand  page  and  their  logarithms  on 
the  right-hand  page  ;  here  again  confusion  is  avoided. 
The  characteristics  of  the  logarithmic  functions  are  the 
true  characteristics  ;  no  useful  purpose  is  served  by 
increasing  them  by  10. 

It  should  be  noticed  that,  instead  of  dividing  by  a  sine, 
one  may  multiply  by  the  cosecant,  &c.,  and,  similarly, 
instead  of  subtracting  the  logarithm  of  a  sine,  one  may  add 
the  logarithm  of  the  cosecant,  &c.  In  many  cases  this 
shortens  calculation. 

For  quick  reference  the  last  page  may  be  used,  which 
gives  the  trigonometrical  functioas,  to  four  figures  only, 
for  every  whole  degree  up  to  90°  and  the  corresponding 
circular  measure  to  five  figures.

Differences  are  given  for  every  lo'.      Intermediate  values  can  be  found  by  n 
method  of  proportional  parts  ;  e.  g. : — 

To  find  tan  43°  56'  and  cos  37°  34' 

tan  43°  5o'=  -96008  cos  37°  3°'=  79335  1 

+  diff.  for  6'=       337         -diff.  for4'=-     71  f 

.-.  tan  43°  5^'=  -96345         •••  cos  37°  34'=  -79264 

When  there  is  no  entry  in  the  difference  column,  the  value  of  the  function  char 
too  rapidly  for  correct  interpolation  by  proportional  parts.  C4reater  accuracy  is  t 
obtained  by  expressing  the  function  in  terms  of  the  sine  and  cosine. 

To  find  tan  67°  23' 

tan  67°  20'=  2-39449  Diff.  for  10'  =  1972 

by  proportional  parts,  diff.  for   3'=         592 

This  gives  tan  67°  23'=  2-40041.     (The  correct  value  is  2-40038.)

0^  LOGARITHMIC  FUNCTIONS 

The  values  given  here  are  the  true  logarithms ;  the  characteristic  is  not 
increased  by  lo  as  in  many  tables. 

Differences  are  given  for  every  lo'.  Intermediate  values  can  be  found  by 
the  method  of  proportional  parts. 

The  differences  for  the  logarithm  of  a  function  and  of  the  reciprocal  of  the 
function  are  the  same  in  magnitude  but  opposite  in  sign. 

When  there  is  no  entry  in  the  difference  column,  the  rate  of  change  of  the 
logarithm  changes  too  rapidly  for  correct  interpolation  by  proportional  parts. 

The  following  rules  may  be  used  when  the  angle  is  small : — 

Log  sine.      Add  &6S$S7  to  the  log  of  the  angle  expressed  in  seconds  and 

subtract  ^  of^tlie  log  secant. 
Log  tan.      Add  6-68557  to  the  log  of  the  angle  expressed  in  seconds  and 

add  ^  of  the  log  secant. 
When  the  log  sine  is  given,  the  angle  is  found  in  seconds  by  adding 

5-31443  to  the  log  sine  and  ^  of  the  corresponding  log  secant  (found 

in  the  ordinary  way). 
When  the  log  tan  is  given,   the  angle  is  found    in  seconds  by  adding 

5*31443  to  the  log  tan  and  subtracting  |  of  the    corresponding  log 

secant  (found  in  the  ordinary  way).
