Page 25 - The solution of this CASE depends on the following PROPOSITION. In every Plane Triangle, As the Sum of any two Sides ; Is to their Difference ; So is the Tangent of half the Sum of the two opposite Angles ; To the Tangent of half the Difference between them. Add this half difference to half the Sum of the Angles and you will have the greater Angle ; and...
