Page 111 - All the interior angles of any rectilineal figure, together with four right angles, are equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides.
Page 160 - LEVELLING is the art of representing the inequalities of the earth's surface, and of determining the relative heights of any number of points above or below a line, equidistant, at every point, from the centre of the earth.
Page 17 - The square of the hypothenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides ; as, 5033 402+302.

Page 102 - The existence of parallax is determined by moving the eye about, when looking through the telescope, observing whether the cross wires change their position, and are flittering and undefined. To correct this error, first adjust the eye-piece, by means of the moveable eye-piece tube, till you can perceive the cross wire clearly defined, and sharply marked against any white object.
Page 23 - C will be found 9, the square root on D. For the square root of 144 : Set 1 on C to 10 on D ; then against 144 on C will be found the square root 12 on D. 42.
