Page 12 - Any two sides of a spherical triangle are together greater than the third side.
Page 19 - Thus the sines of the angles of a spherical triangle are proportional to the sines of the opposite sides.
Page 30 - From this proposition, it is obvious that if one angle of a triangle be equal to the sum of the other two angles, that angle is a right angle, as is shewn in Euc.
Page 1 - A sphere is a solid bounded by a surface, every point of which is equally distant from a fixed point called the centre.
Page 62 - A circle which touches one side of a triangle and the other two sides produced, is called an escribed circle of the triangle.
Page 15 - If one angle of a spherical triangle be greater than another, the side opposite the greater angle is greater than the side opposite the less angle.
