Strona 2 - In any triangle, the sum of the three angles is equal to two right angles, or 180°.
Strona 104 - ... or taking their difference when of contrary names ; the altitude to be reckoned from the south point of the horizon, when the latitude is north, and the contrary when south ; but when the sum exceeds 90°, it is to be taken from 180°...
Strona 166 - To find the solidity of a pyramid and of a cone. RULE. — Multiply the area of the base by one third of its altitude, and the product will be its solidity.
Strona 185 - The cause of the. tides is the unequal attraction of the sun and moon upon different parts of the earth. . For they attract the parts of the earth's surface nearest to them, with a greater force than they do its centre : and attract the centre more than they do the opposite surface. To restore this equilibrium the waters take a spheroidal figure, whose longer axis is directed towards the attracting luminary.
