II. If the Extreams (in any Proportion) be Diftinct from the Mid. Fig.XXI. dle Part, the Proportion will be performed by Sines only: But if the Extreams be Conjunct to the Middle Part, it must be performed by Sines and Tangents jointly.

The Demonftration of the Univerfal Propofition is obvious Demonftration_of_the_Univerfal enough: For, where the Extream Parts are Disjunct, the Proportions differ nothing from the common ones: And in the Extreams Conjunct, where it is commonly faid,

As Radius, to the Tangent,

We here fay,

As the Co-Tangent, to the Radius.

And likewife Inverfly and Contrarily, which is plainly the fame thing: Because,

The Radius is a Mean Proportional, between the Tangent of an Arch, and the Tangent Complement of the fame Arch. Note, That when a Complement in any Proportion doth chance to concur with a Complement in the Circular Parts, you must then (always) take the Sine, it felf, or the Tangent it felf; inftead of the Co-fine, or Co-Tangent, in the Circular Parts: Because the Co-fine of the Co-fine, is the Sine it felf, and the Co-tangent of the Co-tangent, is the Tangent it self,

As is the Sixth Cafe following; where C B and C A are given, and the Angle at B is required: Here CA is the Middle Part, and C B, and B, are the Extreams Disjunct: Wherefore (by the fecond Part of the foregoing Corollary) the Proportion will be performed by Sines only. And (by this laft) because the Two Extreams, CB, and B, fall upon Complements in the Circular Parts; therefore, inftead of Co-fine B C, and Co-fine B, you muft fay Sine B C, and Sine B.
