The Analogies, or Proportions, for the Solution of the feveral Cafes of Right-angled Spherical Triangles, by the Universal Proposition.

Fa

OR the Performance hereof, I shall make use of this Rightangled Spherical Triangle A B C, Right-angled at A, the Quantities of whose Sides and Angles are adfixed to their respective Circular Parts in the Diagram noted with B, in Fig. XXI. And also in this Table, both in Sexagenary Degrees and Minutes; and in Decimal Parts also.

the Sides or Angles Given, by a short Stroak, (1), and the Term
Required, I shall mark with (o.) All which are to be seen in

Fig.XXI. Note, These are the Proportions answerable to the Univerfal Propofition, yet may (many of them) be varied; so that the Radius may be brought into the first Place, and that by the latter part of the foregoing Corollary: Which fays Radius is a Mean Proportional between the Tangent of an Arch, and the Tangent Complement of the Same Arch. -So that (in the XIIIth CASE) where it is faid,

As the Tangent BA, Is to Radius:
So is Sine CA, To Co-tangent C.

CHAP. IV.

Some Pranotions concerning Oblique-angled, Spherical
Triangles, in order to the Solution of them.

N Oblique-angled Spherical Triangles there are XII Cafes, Ten of which may be refolved by the Universal Proposition; but then the Oblique Triangle must be reduced into Two Right-angled Triangles by help of a Pérpendicular let fall, fometimes within, sometimes without, the Triangle: And to know whether it fall within or without, the subsequent Rules are to be observed.

RULE I. If the Angles at the Base of the Triangle be both of the Same Affection, that is, both Acute or Obtuse; the Perpendicular let fall from the Vertical Angle shall fall within: But if of different Affections, without.
