الصفحة 28 - A, and the adjacent angular points of the squares joined, the sum of the squares of the three joining lines is equal to three times the sum of the squares of the sides of the triangle.
الصفحة 27 - Find the locus of a point the sum of the squares of whose distances from two given points is constant.
الصفحة 149 - JL from the right angle on the hypotenuse of a rightangled A is a harmonic mean between the segments of the hypotenuse made by the point of contact of the inscribed circle. 10. If a line be cut harmonically by two Os, the locus of the foot of the _L, let fall on it from either centre, is a O, and it cuts any two positions of itself homographically (see Prop. 3, Cor. 2, Section VII.)11.
الصفحة 58 - If the' great circle and the circumscribed polygon revolve together about AA', the great circle will describe the surface of a sphere, the angular points of the polygon except A, A' will move round the surface of a larger sphere, the points of contact of the sides of the polygon with the great circle of the inner sphere will describe circles on that sphere in planes perpendicular to AA', and the sides of the polygon themselves will describe portions of conical surfaces. The circumscribed figure will...
الصفحة 110 - O'P + O'Q = PQ = r ; E + 8 1 ETS" E-8 1 a result already proved by a different method (see Prop. 11, Section I.). Prop. 13.—If a variable chord of a circle subtend a right angle at a fixed point, the locus of its pole is a circle. chord •which subtends a right Z at a fixed point P; AE, BE tangents at A and B, then E is the pole of AB : it is required to find the locus of E. Let O be the centre of X. Join OE, intersecting AB in I; then, denoting the radius of X by r, we have OP...
الصفحة 45 - Two points, such as A and B, which possess the property that the polar of either passes through the other, are called conjugate points with respect to the circle, and their polars are called conjugate lines. Prop.
الصفحة 5 - The middle points of the three diagonals of a complete quadrilateral are collinear...
