So is the Tangent of half the Sum of the Sides,

To the Tangent of half the Difference of the Sides.

Therefore,

Is to the Sine of the Difference of the Angles;

So is the Tangent of half the Sum of the Angles,
To the Tangent of half the Difference of the Angles.

But,

So is the Tangent of half the Sum of the Angles,

And,

So is the Co-tangent of half the Vertical Angle,

Some Problems in Plain Triangles, which come not within the Limits of the Twelve foregoing Cafes.

PROBLEM I.

In the Oblique-angled Triangle C B D, there is given the Angle at
C, (116.20 deg.) the Side D B, oppofite thereunto (1270 Foot :)
And the Two Sides, DC and CB, in One Sum, (1496 Foot:)
To find the other Angles D and B, and the Sides feverally.

CONSTRUCTION.

Xtend the Side of the Triangle D C, to A, making C A

Fig. Equal to CB, and draw the Line B A, fo fhall you have conftituted a new Triangle A O B, in which you have given, (1.) The Side A D, equal to the Sum of the Sides DC and CB, (1497.) And (2.) the Side DB (1270.) And (3.) being you have the Angle D CB, (116 d. 12 m.) you have alfo the Angle BCA in the other Triangle, (63 80 d.) the Complement thereof to a Semicircle, or 180 deg.

Then in the Triangle AC B, having the Angle at (63.80) you have alfo the Sum of the other Two Angles, CA B and A BC, equal to the given Angle D C B, (116.20) the half whereof is the Angle CAB (58.10 d.) to which the Angle ABC is equal, because the Sides C A and C B fubtending thofe Angles, are equal And now in the Triangle DAB you have given, (1.) the Side D A, 1497. (2.) The Side DB, 1270. And (3.) the Angle, DAB (oppofite to D B) (58.10 d.) by which you may find the whole Angle DBA (by Cafe I. of Oblique Triangles: For, As Log. DBs. CAB Log DA; s. ABD 95.53 d.
