DISQUISITIONES GENERALES
dem linea brevissima DB, pro quo, manente p, characteres q, r, <p', cj/, 8' eadem
designent, quae q, r, cp, <[», 8 pro puncto B. Ita oritur triangulum inter puncta
A, B, C, cuius angulos per A, B, C, latera opposita per a, b, c, aream per a
denotamus; mensuram curvaturae in punctis A, B, C resp. per a, t), y expri
memus. Supponendo itaque (quod licet), quantitates p, q, q — q' esse positi
vas, habemus
A = cp—cp', J5 = <[», C = tz — cp', u = q — q, b = r, c = r, a = 8—8'
Ante omnia aream a per seriem exprimemus. Mutando in [7] singulas
quantitates ad B relatas in eas, quae ad C referuntur, prodit formula pro 8',
