ON THE PROBLEM OF THE IN-AND-CIRCUMSCRIBED TRIANGLE. [514
and subtracting from the before-mentioned number

the required number of positions of the angle a is
= 2x (x — 1) («—2) F (F — 1) (F — 2)
+ p(»-l)(«-2)i/ + IF(F-l)(F-2).
The number of triangles is on account of the symmetry equal to one-sixth of this
number.
Case 44. e — D = F = x, a = c = B = y.
X = ( F — 2) (y — 3) X (« — 2) (X — 3) y,
x ' = X( æ -2)(X-3) ÿ (F-2)(y-3)(= x ),
g =2<*-2)X(X-8)<r-2)y(y-S):
there is a division by 2 on account of the symmetry.
Case 45. a = D — B — x, c = e = F — y.
X = (X — 2)y (X — 1) (y — 1)(F— 2)x,
X — F(y — 2) X (y — 1) (X — 1) (x — 2),
g =(X — 1) (y — 1) [xy (X — 2) (F—2) + IF(x-2) (y — 2)}
= 2 (X — 1) (y — 1) {XFxy — XY(x + y) — xy (X + F) + 2xy + 2XF}.
Case 46. a = c = y, B — I) — F—e = x. By reciprocation of 47,
No. = y (y - 1) {¿c 2 + a; (2X 3 - 10X 2 + 12X - 1) - 4X 3 + 20X 2 - 16X - 3^} :
there is a division by 2 on account of the symmetry.
Case 47. D = F—y, a — c = e = B = x.
The functional process is exactly the same as for No. 39 (a = c = e = B = x), with
only F(F—1) written instead of DF; hence
No. = F(F— 1) {X 2 + X (2a?- KXz 2 + 12x - 1) - 4« 3 + 20^ - 16«- 3f} :
there is a division by 2 on account of the symmetry.
Case 48. a = c = JD = F= x, e = B = y.
The functional process, writing a = c = D = F = x + x', would be precisely the same
as for Case 42, with only the factor y F written instead of eB; and we have thus
the like result, viz.
No. = {X 2 (2# 2 — 6x + 4) + X (— 6x 2 + 18« — 4) + 4« 2 — 4« — 4£) y Y,
which on account of the symmetry must be divided by 2.
