الصفحة 34 - As the base or sum of the segments Is to the sum of the other two sides, So is the difference of those sides To the difference of the segments of the base.
الصفحة 33 - Plane Triangle, As the Sum of any two Sides ; Is to their Difference ; So is the Tangent of half the Sum of the two opposite Angles ; To the Tangent of half the Difference between them.
