Page 87 - 1 — cos a 1 + cos a 1 + cos a * 1 + cos a sin a 16. If a numerical value of any function of a is given, all the other functions of a and of a/2 can be found geometrically from Ex. 14. Thus, if sin a = 4/5 is given, lay off OP = 5, BP = 4 ; then 07? = V52 — 4* = 3. Hence, 073 = 8, AB=2; and CP = v
