Prob. £G.) by saying, as the sum of the said sines is to
their difference, so is the tangent of half BAG to the
tangent of half BA Q — CAQ.
Agaui, it will he as sine QAH : sine QUA (: : Qll
: QA :: QP : QÀ) :: sine QAP : sine QPA; there
fore, in the triangle AQP, are given ail the angles and
one side AP, whence AQ and PQ will be found.
PROBLEM XLVII.
Having the three perpendiculars, let fall from the angles
of a plan eTnangle on the opposite sides, cjual to three gi
ven right-lines kk, LI, and Mw?, to describe the triangle.
CONSTRUCTION.
Draw thè indefinite right-liue RS, in which take
AB equal to K/r : find a fourth proportional to Mw,
LI, and K/r, with which as a radius, Irom the centre A,
let. an arch rCs be described; and from B, with the
> radius LI, let, another arch be described intersecting the
former jn C ; join A, C and B, C, and upon ItS let
fall the perpendicular QC, in which produced, take
QP zz LI, and draw PF parallel to US, meeting AC,
produced, in F, draw FG parallel to CB, and AFG
will be the triangle required.
DEMONSTRATION.
Draw FE, Gq and Av, perpendicular to the three
sides of the triangle.
