VOLUNTARY PORTION. 1. Triangles having the same altitude are to one another as their bases. 2. Define the tangent of an angle; express the values of tan 90°, tan 45°, tan 135°, tan 60°. Prove tan (A + B) + tan C tan (A+B+C) = 1 - tan (A + B) tan C 3. Given three sides of a triangle, investigate a formula adapted to logarithmic computation, by means of which an angle of the triangle may be found. Find the least angle of the triangle whose sides are 63-4, 72.2, 81.8. 4. State and prove the property by means of which the solid generated by the revolution of a given plane area round an axis may be determined.

If a body be projected up a given smooth inclined plane, show how to determine the space it will describe in a given time. An inclined plane rises 1 foot vertical for every 100 feet of length, with what velocity must a body be projected up the plane that it may describe 183.9 feet in 10 seconds, gravity being taken as 32.2 feet.

Ineuntis enim ætatis inscitia senum constituenda et regenda prudentia est. Hinc rex xx stadia processit, semita propemodum invia, cui sylva imminebat, torrentesque et eluvies iter morabantur. Nullo tamen hoste obvio penetrat; tandem ad ulteriora perventum est. Præter alios fructus, quorum copia regio abundabat, pomorum ingens modus nascitur, et uberrimum gignendis uvis solum est. Anco regnante, Lucumo vir divitiis potens Romam commigravit, cupidine maximè ac spe magni honoris. Demarati Corinthii filius fuit, qui ob seditiones domo profugus, cum Tarquiniis forte consedisset, uxore ibi ducta duos filios genuit. Funus interim Procedit; sequimur: ad sepulcrum venimus: In ignem posita est: fletur: interea hæc soror, Quam dixi, ad flammam accessit imprudentius Satis cum periclo: ibi tum exanimatus Pamphilus Bene dissimulatum amorem et celatum indicat. Cæsar. Interim ii, qui ad alteram partem oppidi, ut supra demonstravimus, munitionis caussa convenerant, primo exaudito clamore, inde etiam crebris nunciis incitati, oppidum ab Romanis teneri, præmissis equitibus, magno concursu eo contenderunt. Eorum ut quisque primus venerat, sub muro consistebat suorumque pugnantium numerum augebat. Quorum quum magna multitudo convenisset, matres familiæ, quæ paullo ante Romanis de muro manus tendebant, suos obtestari et more Gallico passum capillum ostentare liberosque in conspectum proferre cœperunt. Erat Romanis nec loco, nec numero, æqua contentio: simul, et cursu et spatio pugnæ defatigati, non facile recentes atque integros sustinebant. Cicero. Quatuor robustos filios, quinque filias, tantam domum, tantas clientelas Appius regebat et cæcus. et senex. Intentum enim animum, tamquam arcum, habebat, nec languescens succumbebat senectuti. Tenebat non modo auctoritatem, sed etiam imperium in suos; metuebant servi, verebantur liberi, carum omnes habebant: vigebat in illa domo mos patrius et disciplina. Ita enim senectus honesta est, si se ipsa defendit, si jus suum retinet, si nemini mancipata est, si usque ad extremum spiritum dominatur in suos. Ut enim adolescentem, in quo senile aliquid, sic senem, in quo est aliquid adolescentis, probo: quod qui sequitur, corpore senex esse poterit, animo numquam erit. Semper enim in studiis laboribusque viventi non intelligitur, quando obrepat senectus. Ita sensim sine sensu ætas senescit ; nec subito frangitur, sed diuturnitate exstinguitur. Virgil. Nox erat, et terris animalia somnus habebat: Horace. O quisquis volet impias Cædes et rabiem tollere civicam, Si quæret Pater urbium Subscribi statuis, indomitam audeat Refrenare licentiam, Clarus postgenitis; quatenus, heu nefas ! Virtutem incolumem odimus, Sublatam ex oculis quærimus invidi. Quid tristes querimoniæ, Si non supplicio culpa reciditur? Vanæ proficiunt? Si neque fervidis Pars inclusa caloribus Mundi, nec Boreæ finitimum latus, Mercatorem abigunt? Horrida callidi |
