PREFACE.
IN tho following work on Trigonometry an attempt lias Vyoen made
to supply the Canadian student with a text-bt>ok adapted to the
requirements of Canadian schools. In examining the available works
on this subject, the writer has found them to consist of two classes.
The one class consists of large heavy treatises, lilled with ditHeult
problems and references to the Difl'erential and Integral Calculus,
which render them unsuitable for elementary instruction. The other
consists of works which simi)lify the subject by the easy process of
omitting all the difHculties, and are, therefore, insutHcient for hiying
a sure foundation for advanced work. Between these extremes it
should be possible to unite thoroughness and accuracy with simplicity
and brevity, whilst keeping the whole well within the comprehension
of the average intelligent student. To fullil these conditions is the
object of the present volume.
Trigonometry constitutes a very important part of a student's
mathematical course. The study of mathematics embraces two chief
divisions, viz., Algebra and Geometry. The former treats of
numerical relations, and deals with symbols. The latter treats of
relations of form, and deals with objective magnitudes. Trigcmometry
unites the two. The meaning of the various symbols of tlie former,
and the operations to which they are subjected, are exennilified by the
diagrams of the latter, whilst the properties of the diagrams them-
selves are inferred from operations with symbols. The different
classes of symliols, those of quantity, of operation, and t)f function,
are distinguished from one another; idea,s of limits are developed;
the meaning of the infinitely great and the infinitely small is
exemplified, the principle of continuity is illustrated, thus l>ringing
into prominence the whole of the fundamental principles of mathe-
matics.
To secure the desirable results just enumerated, it is necess^iry to
study the two departments, the syml)olical and the geometrical
simultaneously, and to make constant reference from the one to the
other. For this purpose the "line definitions" of the sine, cosine,
IV
PREFACE.
I'tc, have buen givou in addition to tlio uhujiI "ratio" dotinitions.
The values of tlio ratios for a coiisiduraMu nuuilter of ani^U'S huvo been
deduced grcunetrioally. Various fornuil;e relatin^' to triaiiLjles, poly-
gons, tlio ratios of compound angles, etc., are deduced both from
symbols and diagrams.
The theory will be found complete. The definitions and demonstra-
ti(ins are perfectly general, though, in some instances, particular ca.ses
are treated fir.st to ])rei)aro the way for general investigations, and
also to fuinish material for exercises at each stage of the work. The
demonstrations are given in the most convenient and concise form,
and free from any mere explatiatory matter. Where such is retjuired
it is given in separate paragrai)hs. This will bo found a great con-
venience in preparing for examination.
The exiunples are numerous, and illustrate every portion of the
work. They have been selected and arranged with care, and consist
of those which are necessary for future use, and such as have been
jtroved to be proiitable exercise by the practical test of the class-room.
Tedious and complicated problems have not been inserted.
A peculiar feature of the work is the insertion in an Ai)pendix of a
brief set of Mathematical Tables including the logarithms of numbers,
the natural trigonometrical ratios and the logarithmic ratios calculated
to live decimal places. These enable a student to choose his own method
of solving a problem, to c()ni})are different modes ol solution, and
generally to ol)tain a grasp of the subject which is imi)ossible .without
their use. Considerable use has been made of the natural functions,
whose use is more readily understcjod than that of the logarithmic
functions. The accuracy obtainable by the use of five-place tables is
suflicient to illustrate all parts of the theory, and more than sufhcient
for all ordinary practical measurements.
In the preparation of the work, originality has not been attempted.
The constant aim has been to put the matter in a teachable form, and
to adapt it to the wants of the student.
The author thankfully acknowledges assistance from Mr. G. I.
Riddell, B.A., Mathematical Master, Parkdale Collegiate Institute,
Toronto, in reading the proof and verifying examples. From the
great care taken to secure accuracy, it is believed that the errors have
been reduced to a minimum, and that no serious difticulty will be
experienced from that cause.

CHAPTEK I.
DEFINITIONS AND FUNDAMENTAL
CONCBP'i. .^NS.
1. Plane Trigonometry in its i)riniary incaning, is the
science whidi treats of the latious e.\;:iting between the
lengths of the sides and the inagni' ule of the angles which
torin a phme triangle. Tn its mure extended sigiuHeatioii it
treats of angular magnitude in genei-;il. Its subject matter is
Geometry, but the methods of investigation employed are
cliiefly those of Algebra.
THE TRIGONOMETRICAL. LINE.
2. In pure Geometry a straight line is considered only as
the distance between two fixed points. In Trigonometry we
fre(i[uently consider the mode in which the line has been formed
as well as its magnitude.
3. When a point moves through any distance in a fixed
direction it traces out (or generates) a straight line which is
bounded by the initial and final positions of the moving point.
When the point returns to its original position it generates a
line of the same length as before, and in the same position, but
in the opposite direction. These two lines are distinguished by
representing the one by a jyositive number, and the other by the

saino liumbcr taken neyatively. The nurnV^er represents the
l(Mi<3'tli of llio line {i.*'., the amount of motion of the moving
point), and the sign determines tiie direction in which it has
been generated.
4.. A fixed point in a straight line, or a line produced is r>n.^pfl
a point of section of that line ; and the lines intercepted be-
tween the point of section and the extremities of tlic given line
are called segments.
Sometimes two or more points of section are taken, thus
dividing the line, or the line produced, into a number of por-
tions, each of which may be called a segment.
5. Segments are either positive or negative, according as they
are generated by a point moving in the positive or in the nega-
tive direction. In naming a S(?gment the direction is indicated
by the order of the letters designating it; thus the segment AJi
indicates that it is measured from A to B.
6. Two or more segments are added by placing the initial
point of the second segment upon the final point of the first;
the initial point of the third upon the final point of the second,
and so on \ tlie sum of all the segments is the line reaching from
the initial point of the first segment to the final point of the
last segment added.

It will be observed that when a positive segment is added the
final point moves forward, but when a negative segment is
added it moves backward. A')ii/ straight line is tints equal to the

the peipendicul.il' from the point on the line.

3. J 5C is a triangle ; show that the sum of the projections

4. The sum of the projections of the sides of a triangle, taken
in ordei', upon any fixed straight line, is zero.
5. Generalize the two preceding theorems.

THE TRIGONOMETRICAL ANGLE.
8. Show that the first four points in Ex. Q all lie on the
circumference of a circle, that the next two points are without
tliis circle, the next within, and that the last is the centre.
9. The square of the distance between any two points on a
plane is the sum of the squares of its projections upon any two
straight lines at right angles to each other,
10. How is the position of a point affected by changing the
signs of its co-ordinates? How is its distance from the origin
aa'ected ?
11. A straight line, OP, revolves in a circle about 0, name
the quadrants in which (1) the x co-ordinate of /* is positive, (2)
X
the y co-ordinate is positive, (3) the quotient, - , of the co-ordi-
nates is positive.
12. Two equal straight lines, OP and OQ, at right angles to
each other revolve in the same direction in a circle starting from
the initial lines of the first and second quadrants respectively.
Show that, if at any time, the co-ordinates of J* are a, b, the
co-ordinates of Q ai'e — h, a.
13. A straight line revolves about its centre, what relation
exists between the coordinates of the two ends? H the arms
are of diflerent lengths, what relation exists?
14. Two equal straight lines, OP and OQ, revolve through
equal angles in oi)posite directions, staiting respectively from
the initial and final lines of the first quadrant; show that if, at
any time, o, h are the co-ordinates of 1\ thD, then, since this is considered the
positive direction of rotation, the angles AOli, AOC, FiOE, etc.,
are positive, whilst BOA, COA, EOH, etc, are negative.
\
AhoAOB + BOC^AOC.
AOn + nOA=^0.
AOC + COD + BO E = A OE.
AOC + COB + nOD - A OD, etc.
It will be observed that when a positive ang' is added the
revolving line moves forward, but when a negative angle is
added it moves backward,
18. In pure Geometry the angular magnitudes considered are
usually each less than two right angles, but it is evident that
there is no limit to the angular motion of the revolving line,
and consequently there is no limit to the angular magnitude
which may be described. An angle may be infinite in n)agni-
tude, the same as a line may be indnite in length, the former
being generated by the continuous revolution of a line and the
latter by the continuous motion of a point,
19. At the end of each complete revolution the revolving line
will coincide with the initial line and the geometrical angle
between them vanishes. At any other point in the course the
geometrical angle will be the same in the successive revolutions,
but the tri(/oiio)iietrical angle is assumed to include the complete
revolutions as well as the fractional part of one revolution.

20. Two geometrical angles are equal wlion the lines which
bound one angle may be made to coincide with those which
bound the other (as in Euc. I., 4), but this is not necessarily true
of trigonometrical angles, for the following reasons :
(1) Either line may be selected as the initial line.
(2) When tlie initial line has been selected, tiie revolving '.ine
may turn in either of two directions.
(3) The revolving line may make any number of complete
revolutions V)efore coming to rest.
Thus, the three angles in tiie accompanying figure are geo-
Uietrically equal, but the amount of rotation, as indicated by
the spirals, by which they have been severally generated, is in
each case ditlerent.
A
Moreover each angle may be generated by stai-ting from
either OA or OB. Six different trigonometrical angles are thus
represented by the same bounding lines, and by varying the
number of complete revolutions the number of angles represented
may evidently be increased to any extent. - .j'

21. The motion of the hands of a clock illustrates this part of
the subject. Each hand, by its revolution, describes an angle
by revolving about the centre of the dial. Tlu; initial line is '
that joining the centre of the dial to the mark for the hour of
twelve. The minute hand marks the geometrical angle between
its position at a given time and the initial line, and thus deter-
mines the number of minutes since the hej/iniiiny of the hour or
before its cotn])Iefiooi. The hour hand marks the number of
complete revolutions which the minute hand has made since
twelve o'clock, and the two hands combined mark the trigono-
metrical angle described by tiie minute hand during this time.

MEASUREMENT OF ANGLES.
22. The quarter part of a ooinpleto revolution is called a
quadrant, and corresponds to the geometrical right angle. In
describing a coniphite revolution in the positive direction the
quadrants are called first, second, third and fourth, respectively,
in the order in which the revolving line passes through them,
and an angle is said to lie in a particular quadrant when the
revolving line, after describing the angle, comes to rost in that
quadrant.
MEASUREMENT OP ANGLES.
23. To measure an angle we select a llxed angle as the unit
of measure, determine how often this unit nmst be repeated to
produce the given angle, and to this number prefix tlu; sign +
or - , according as the angle has been generated in the positive
or the negative direction.
24. The natural unit of angular magnitudes is a complete
revolution, but this being too large for convenience, snialler
units are derived from it in one of two distinct ways :
(1) By dividing a complete revolution into an exact number of
equal j>arts.
(2) By measuring off arcs of a given length on the circumfer-
ence of a circle of given radius.
The former method is the more convenient for practical work,
and the latter for theoretical investigations.
25. A complete revolution divided into four equal parts deter-
mines the right angle, which is the basis of the ordinary system
of measurement. The right angle is divided into 90 equal
parts called degrees, the degree into 60 equal parts called
minutes, and the minutes into 60 equal parts called seconds.
We have, then, the following table :
1 revolution = 4 right angles
i right angle = 90 degrees, written 90°
1 degree — 60 minutes, n 60'

From the division of the degree and the minute each into sixti/
equal parts, the; abcne is sonictinies known as tiie Sexagesimal
Method ; it is also known as the English Method.
26. Another mode of subdividing the right angle, wliicli is
theoretically more convenient than the former, is given in the
following table :
1 right angle - 100 grades, written lOO*^
1 grade = 100 minutes, n 100'
1 minute = 100 seconds, n 100"
From the subdivisions being made into humlreds in each
case, tiiis is known as the Centesimal Method.
27. The Centesimal Method was proposed by a number of
French mathematicians at the beginning of the present century.
Its theoretical superiority is at once evident, but there are many
practical ditticulties which prevent its adoption. The results of
many valuable observations, especially in astronomy, have been
recorded, valuable mathematical instruments graduated, and
trigonometrical tables calculated, all according to the Sexagesi-
mal Method. The labor and expense involved in a change of
system would be greater than the I'csulting gaiii , hence the only
purpose this method serves is that of furnishing exercises in
reduction for the student of Trigonometry. Other methods of
.subdivision are also employed for special purposes. Thus, for
reckoning time, we divide a complete revolution of the earth
upon its axis into 24 equal parts, and call the time occupied in
describing one of those parts an hour. Astronomers divide the
ecliptic into 12 equal parts, called Signs of the Zodiac ; mariners
divide the horizon into 32 efjual parts, called Points of the Com-
pass, etc. It will be readily perceived that every systenj of
angular measurement must be ultimately based upon the circle
considered as one complete revolution.
28. When two angles taken together make up one right angle
each is said to be the complement of the other, and when they
together make two right angles each is said to be the supple-

The circular measure of an angle is the number of radians
whicii it contains.
39. The circular measure of angles is usually denoted by a
Greek letter, and the number of degrees by an English letter.
In either case the letter alone denotes a nund)er, and only in
connection with tlie angular unit does it denote an angle. Thus,
denotes a number, just as letters in algebra denotts nundjers,
but we frecjuently speak of " the angle 0," and, if so, we mean
radians. The letter tt is restricted to the particular nuiid)er
3.1415. . . ., which is the number of radians in two right angles.
Radians may be specially marked by '^, thus, 0% 2', etc., but this
is seldom necessary. Of course, the '' used in this way must not

principles as problems in algebra. Uidcnown quantities are
represented by letters, the conditions of the problem are ex-
pressed by equations, and the equations are solved in the usual
way. The following is a simple example :
Ex. Find the angle between two tangents to a circle 10 feet
in diametei', providing the points of contact divide the circum-
' ference into arcs, one of which is 6 inches longer than the other.
Let A /*, A Q, be the tangents, 0, the centre of the circle, 0,

49. The distinction between algebraical and geometrical
magnitudes n>ust be kept clearly in mind. In algebra the
symbols stand for munhers, and the latter, together with the
unit of measurement, represent the magnitude. In geometry,
the symbols represent the magnitudes directly, without any
reference to number, they are mere names, and consequently do
not admit of algebraical operations being performed upon them.
But when the parts of a diagram have once been designated by
letters used in a geometrical sense, it is frecjuently convenient to
use the same symbols when algebraical operations are involved.
Thus, if AB and CD are two straight lines, we shall frequently
i li
use such expressions as -— - to denote the ratio of the numbers
which are the algebraical measures of the given lines.
50. Adopting this notation, we give a number of examples.

we mean that as the point /*.. approaches /», the (juotient of the
l(!ngth of the; perpendicular l\^ J/.> by the length of the base OJ/^
becomes greater and greater, and that before 7^ reaches B this
quotient becomes greater than any finite quantity. Again, when
7*2 is indefinitely near to />' the tangent is indefinitely great and
positive, but if 7*3 be brought indefinitely near to JJ the tangent
is indefinitely great and ')ii'. The tangent thus passes in-
stantly f rom + octo- CC, as the point /'passes thi'oufrh li, just
as the cosine passes from + to - 0. When a variable quantity
chaiKjes siyn it nuist first become either zero or injinite; the
cosine is an example of the former, the tangent, of the latter.
The reader should compare Art. 57, and observe how the linear
tangent becomes infinite in hmjlh and changes direction, whilst
the ratio tangent becomes infinite nnmerieaU y and changes si(jn
as the point P passes from the first quadrant to the second.

this is impossible trvjoyrnnietrically, since the sine of an angle

70. Thus fai" wo have Ihhmi engaged in determining the trigo-
nometrical ratios of various angles from the known sides of right-
angled triangles. AVe shall now icverse the process, and sliow
that bv the aid of those results when one side and one angle are
known, the remaining sides and iingle may easily be found.
71. The angles of a triangle are usually denoted by the capital
letters A, I!, C, and tlu^ sides opposite them by the small letters
(I, A, (', and in the case of light-angled triangles, C denotes the
right angle. This notation will be followed unless otlierwise
specified.

SOLUTION OP TRIANGLES.
76. Ill practical applications of trigonometry two processes
are constantly rcfjuiiod.
1. Having given the niagnituile of an angl<>, we require the
numerical value of one or more of its trigonometrical ratios.
2. Ifaving given the numerical value of one of the trigono-
metrical ratios of an angle, we nnpiire the magnitude of the
angle.
To facilitate these processes we have given in the Appendix
the values of the ratios for angles between 0' and 4a ', at inter-
vals of 10'. From these we can obtain the ratios for any given
angle, or the angle which corresponds to any given ratio, by
metliods which we proceed to explain.
77. The trigonometrical ratios are functions of the angh^, i.e.,
they are quantities whose values depend upon the magnitude of
the angle and change as the angle changes. In this connection
we shall assume the truth of the following general principle :
The change in value of the function of a variable in approxi-
mately ])roportional to the chanye in the variable, providi7i(/ the
change be sujficiently small.
This is known as "The Principle of Proportional Parts." It
is also sometimes called *' The Rule of Proportional Diflerences."
The following examples will show clearly the meaning and
application of this principle :

Different cases may arise, which we proceed to examine. The
circle may not meet the line AX, may touch it, may cut it twic(^
on the same side of Ay or may cut it on opposite sides of A. Th sin .1. AVc have then
the following results :
No solution possible.
One solution ; triangle right-angled.

Thus, when two sides of a triangle and tin; angle opposite oncj
of them are given two tiiangles may sometinu'S be drawn fulfil-
ling th(! riMjuired conditions. Thiii is consecpiently known as the
ambiguous case in the .solution of triangles.
88. The jneceding results have been obtained from an inspec-
tion of the geometiical diagram. It will now be very instructive
to e.xamine tluj ecjuations which connect tlu^ sides and angles of
a triangle, and observe how each of these results is indicated by
synd)ols. We shall do this in two ways.
From triangle C A Ji (or CA/i'), Fig. 3, we have,
a' — b- + c- - 26c cos A.
Arranging this as a (juadratic ecpiation to find c, we have
c'-' lV> cos J . c -f 6- - ^r - 0.

Solving,

Now, from Fig. .M, it will bo readily observed that CD = h sin J,
I C/> = f/, and consequently /yZ>= /y'/>= v/rt'--/r sin- yl. The two
values of c are therefore .1 A' and A/i', which is in Ijarmony with
the fact that the originjil ecpiation belongs c(jua!ly to the two
triangles.

quadratic has equal roots; sine ^= 1 ; a right-angled triangle.
III. a>h sin A.
(1) ah; the circle cuts the line on opposite sides of A ; one
root of quadratic is positive and one negative; the obtuse value
of B is inadmissible ; one solution.
From the value of sin B alone we are unaV)le to determine
whether there ai-e one or two solutions in the last two cases.
The additional test required is furnished by Euc. I., 17. When
a — h, A — li and both angles must be acute ; when a > b, A>B,
.'. B must be acute, and in each case there is but one solution.
The angle A has been considered acute throughout the investi-
ffation. The student should examine the cases in which A is
right or obtuse.

Therefore, for all values of 0,
MN= PR = PQ cos 0, TS = RQ = PQ sin e.
113. One point in the preceding article requires careful atten-
tion. When we speak of the angle at the point P we tacitly
assume the direction from P to Q to be positive, but when we
speak of the angle tz + nt Q, we assume the positive direction
to be from Q to P. Clearly, then, we must not assume QP in
the latter case to be the negative of PQ in the former ; each is
positive in connection with its own angle. If we denote the
length of PQ by /, we have
proj. of PQ = I cos 0, proj. of QP = I cos (tt + ^) = -I cos 0,
which shows the projection of QP to be the negative of that of
PQ, as it should be.
If, however, we choose to consider the line QP to be projected

to be negative and denote it by - /, then PQ is positive and
is the angle to be chosen. When, for any reason, a line has
already been considered negative, this is the preferable mode of
proceeding.
114. To find the sine and the cosine of the sum and the differ-
ence of two angles in terms of the sines and cosines of the angles.
Let the line OP starting from OX trace out successively the
ungles XOQ ^ A, and QOP=B, then OP makes with OX the
angle xi + B. From if, any point in OQ, draw MS, making a
positive right angle with OQ and meeting OP in R, either line
being produced if necessary ; then MS makes with OX the angle
A + 90°.
Now 0M= OR cos n, MR=OR sin B, Art. 112.
cos (^1 + 90^') = - sin A , sin {A + 90°) = cos ^ . Art. 102.
Since projection of OR on OX equals sum of projections of
OM and MR on OX we have ^/^->^ e^-'- "" '"'^^' - Art. 10.
OR cos {A+B)^ OM cos A + MR cos {A + 90°)
= OR cos B cos A - OR sin B sin A.
Therefore cos {A + B)^ cos A cos B - sin AsXnB. (1 )
Similarly projecting OR on F, we have
OR sin {A +B) = OM sin A + MR sin (A + 90)

adapt this proof to Fig. 2, which repi-esents the second angles as
negative. Note then the following points:
1. O(^) is positive, being a bounding lino of angk^ ^1.
2. MS is })Ositive, because it makes a positive right angle
with OQ.
3. MR is negative, b(H;ause it is drawn in a direction opposite

121. The importance of the preceding formulae is such that we
repeat a portion of them in words, with a few observations, to
assist the learner in committing them accurately to memory,
1. The sum of the sines of two angles is equal to twice the
sine of half their sum nmltiplied by the cosine of half their
difference.
2. The difference of the sines of two angles is equal to twice
the cosine of half their sum multiplied by the sine of half their
difference.
3. The sum of the cosines of two angles is equal to twice the
cosine of half their sum multiplied by the cosine of half their
difference.
4. The difference of the cosines of two angles is equal to
twice the sine of half their sum multiplied by the sine of half
their difference.
122, When the sine of a difference occurs care must be taken
to observe the proper order in subtracting, and we observe :
1. The angles forming the difference have the same order on
both sides of the equality when the difference of sines is involved
as in (10), but have the reverse order on opposite sides as in (12),
when the difference of cosin(?s is taken.
2. When the product of a sine and a cosine is to be trans-
formed into a sum, subtract the cosine angle from the other and
add the sine of the difference thus found to t\\°> sine of the sum
of the two angles. Equations (13) and (14) are thus different
modes of expressing che same relations.

shown how to derive the ratios of lialf, or double, that angle ;
providing the larger angle is less than two right angles. We
.shall now show hhose results to be universally true, and give
others of a similar character. For this purpose we shall employ
the values of sin {A -f />) and cos (^1 + B) from Art. 114. These
formuhe being universally true, any results algebraically deduced
from them must also be universally true.

128. The process of Arts. 12G, 127 may evidently be continued
so as to express tlie sine or the cosine of any multiple angle in
terms of tlie powers of sines and cosines of the single angle. It
will be observed in each case that the degree of the resulting
expression is always equal to the coefficient of the multiple
angle. Thus the ratios of 2yl are replaced by expressions of two
dimensions, those of 3^-1 by expressions of three dimensions in
sin yl, or cos A. Conversely, the squaie or cube of a sine or
cosine may be replaced by sines or cosines of multiple angles.

The truth of the following will be readily perceived, in which

From these the values of the other ratios may be easily
obtained. /^

Let a denote the smallest positive angle whose sine equals

Then A = mr + {- ly a, J] = r7r + {- If a,

The exponents of (-1) in the two cases are (m+l)n and

easier to work with multiple angles than powers of the sine or

The exact meaning of these and similar e(iuations in which
radicals appear must ho carefully ohscrvcd. Any given angle
has but one value for its sine or its cosine. Jiut since every
numerical (piantity has two scpian^ roots, the aV)ove ecjuations
assert that for any one value of cos A there are two values each
for cos and sin . The explanation is found in the fact that
the successive angles which have all the same cosine, when
divided hy 2, produce a s(Mies which have not the same cosine.
If the value of cos ^1 alone he given we shall be unable to
determine which sign to take with t\\v. radical (piantity. But if
the value of A be known, or if we merely know the cpiadrant in
which _ lie.s, we can innnediately prefix the proper sign.
135. A numerical illustration will render tiie pieceding article
more easily intelligible. If we make cos A ^ }, we get
cos
^^|K'4)=^•-^^l^('-i)^.^•
Now, in making cos A — h we simply asseit that
A = some one of the angles GO'', HOw , 420\ GGO'^, etc.
-- = some one of the angles IW, 1 50^ 2 1 0°, 330^^, etc.

and the above equations assert that the cosine of any angle in

either

termine which sign to take. For example, sin 210^^ =

Draw a circle, divide it into eight equal sectors as in the

consider the values of cos and sin ^ separately, whether posi-
tive or negative, and which is numerically the greater, and thus
determine the sign of the coml)ined expressions cos + sin ,^

outside of the circle, and that of the latter on the inside, the
result will be as shown in the fii^ure. The sijjns thus obtained

the corresponding radicals when lies in that section.

Ex. e.— To tind the ratios of SO' and 60'\
Since 30° and 60'^ are conipleniontary angles, we have
cos 30° - sin GO - 2 sin 30^ cos 30^.
Therefore cos 30^^ (1-2 sin 30') = 0.
Now cos 30^ is not zero, ,*. sin 30'^ .\.
Ex. 3.— To tind the ratios of 18°.
Since 36° and 54° are complementary angles, we have
sin 36° = cos 54°.
Therefore 2 sin 18° cos 18°= 1 cos^ 18°- 3 cos \6^. Art. 127.
Divide by cos 1 8°, 2 sin 1 8° - 4 cos- 1 8° - 3
= 1-4 sin- 18^.
Therefore 4 sin= 18+2 sin 18° - 1 = 0.
Solving for sin 18^ sin 18°= -V^^-.

Hence it appears that sin may be found from sin A by the
o
solution of a cubic equation. Similarly, cos - may be found
o
from the value of cos A. If to a we give any particular numeri-
cal value the roots of the resulting equation can always be found.
The process, however, does not V)elong to Elementary Algebra,
and is consequently seldom einployed. Other methods are
adopted for obtaining the numerical values of the ratios, and
when these have been obtained they may be used to solve cubic
equations.

LOGARITHMS.
155. The logarithm of a number to a given base is the index
of the power to which that base must be raised to equal the
given number. Thus, if a" — N, then x is the logarithm of iV to
the base a, and the preceding equation may be written a; = log,, N.
Ex. — Find the logarithm of 81 to base 3, and of 1000 to base
10. Since 81 = 3S and 1000 = 10^, we have logaSl = 4 and
logiol000 = 3.
156. The logarithm of 1 is for all bases, and the logarithm
of the base itself is 1.
For
And
a"= 1, therefore by definition loga 1 = 0.
a' = a, therefore log,, « = 1.
In both cases a may have any value whatever ; the proposi-
tions are, therefore, universally true.
157. It should be carefully remembered that a logarithm is
simply an index, or exponent, detached from the base quantity
to which it belongs, and made to stand alone on one side of an
equation. Thus the three equations,
N=a*^ x = \ogaN, a= \/N,
in which JV, x, and a respectively, stand alone, express the same
relation of the quantities involved, and consequently any one of

the c(jUiition3 may, at any tiiiio, he roj)lac('(l by oitlicr of the other
two. Also, replacing x iii the first ('({uatio)! l)y its vjilue from
the second equation, we get the important iilcnlity, iV=a^°>fa^' .
158. The suftlx denoting the base is frcciuently omitted. This
may be done when it is perfectly clear what base is understood.
It is also omitted in stating general properties which are true
whatever base may be employed. Examples of the latter are
found in the statement of the liOgarithniic Ijaws, Art. 159, and
of the former in thdr proof where tlio base a is clearly under-
stood.

as follows :
1. Tho loj^aritlun of a product is equal to tlio ouni of the
logarithms of its factors.
2. Tlio loga*'ithin of a ((uotiont is Ofjual to tlui logarithm of
the divid(!nd, minus the logaiithm of the divisor.
3. The logarithm of a power of a number is etjual to the
logarithm of the numlxir multiplied by theind(!.x of the power.
4. Tim logarithm of the root of a number is etjual to the
logarithm of the number divided by the indu.v of the root.
We may also observe that l)y the use of h)garithms the oper-
ations of nniltiplication and division ate replaced by those of
addition and subtraction, whilst involution and evolution are «
replaced by multiplication and division.
162. The following are applications of the logarithmic laws.
No base is expressed, the results being true for all bases.
Ex. 1. — Find the logarithm of 75 x 48 in terms of the log-
arithms of 2, 3 and 5.
log (75 X 48) = log 75 + log 48
= log (52 X 3) + log (2< X 3)

Different Systems of Logarithms.
166. Any i»ositive nunil)or difleieiit tVoiii unity may ho chosen
as the base of a system of logarithms, hut only two ciliHerent
systems are in conmion use. The lirst system, called Napierian
logarithms, from their discoverer, Uaron iS'aj)it;r, has fur its
base the sum of the series
1 _i_ _1_ 1
"^ 1 ■^1.2"*"l.2.3"*"l.2.3.-i
ad. inf.
This number is incommensurable, and consequently it can be
only approximately expressed. Its value to eight decimal places
is 2.718281828, and is usually denoted by e. They are also
called natural logarithms, because logarithms to that base
are the most easily calculated, '.'hey are always used in theo-
retical investigations. The second system, called common
logarithms, has for its base the number 10, the radix of our
system ci notation, and is always used for practical work. 1 he
great advantage of this choice of base will be easily perceived
from Art. 171.

2. The lo^^arithms of numbers less than unity are iu:yalivi\
3. Negative numbers have no icnl logarithms.
4. The logarithms of any num' r ix'tweeu two consecutive
powers of 10 will be between the consecutive integers denoting
those powers, i.e., it will be a whole number and a fraction (or
decimal).

LO(JAIllTUMS.
It will 1)0 readily porceivod that whatever base may ho chosen,
hub comparatively few nuinbei's will have exact logarithms.
Thus iu the common system only the numbers 10, 100, 1000, etc ,
have exact logarithms. Tiie logarithms of all other numbers are
incommensuiable. For example, tho common logarithm of G7 is
the value of iv, for which lO-' — G7, but tiiis value can bo only ap-
proximately obtained. Its value to 5 decimal places is 1.82G07,
which means that 10"*-fi^^ = G7, or that lO'^-'^'^ C7"^*^ approxi-
mately. To v(!rify this equality by actual multiplication would
take more time than the student is likely to have at his disposal.
168. In dealing with negative logarithms it is most convenient
in practice to express them in a form in which the integral part
alone is negative. In such cases the negative sign is written
over the integi-al part ; thus 2.75812 means - 2 -{-.75842.
169. When a h)garithm is expressed with its decimal part
positive the integral part is called the characteristic, and the
decimal part tho mantiSSa.
Ex. 1. — The number 275 is between 10- and 10\ therefore
log 275 is between 2 and 3. The value is found to bo 2.43933,
in which 2 is the characteristic and .43933 is tlie mantissa.
Ex. 2. — The number .0275 is between 10"- and 10~', therefore
its log is between - 2 and - 1 ; its value is found to l)C
-(1.5G0G7).
In this case, however, the characteristic is not - 1, nor is the
mantissa .5G0G7, for the decimal part is iwyatice. Transferring
tho log to the proper form, we have
- 1.5G0G7 - - 1 - .5G0G7 = - 2 -f- 1 - .5G0G7
= 2.43933,
from which we see that - 2 is the characteristic and .43933 the
mantissa.

In Ex. (1) the subtraction is porfornud in the ordinary way
until we reach the negative characteristic 2. There is I to carry
from the preceding column whiih added to 2 makes 1, and this
subtracted algebraically from 3 gives 4.
In Ex. (2), multiplying in the ordinary way there is 1 to carry
from the decimal to the characteristic ; this added to 5 times 1
gives 4.
In Ex. (^J) we add 1 to the characteristic, and + 1 to the
decimal; this does not alter the value of the given logarithm,
and it renders the integral part exactly divisible by the given
divisor.
171. To find the characteristic of the loijaritlnn of any number
greater than nnitij.
Let N denote the given number, and let it contain n digits
in the integral part.
Since 10""' is the smallest nunjber containing n digits,
therefore 10'-^ N, 10",
are in ascending order of magi>''tude, and consequently log X lies
> between n - 1 and n.
Therefore log N= (n - 1) + a decimal,
or ?t - 1 is the characteristic of log N.
Tlie characteristic of the logarithm of a number greater than
unity is positive, and less by unity than the nauiber of digits
in the integnd part.

172. To Jind the characteristic of the loyarithm of a decimal
fraction.
Let iV denote the given number, and let n denote the number
of zeros between the decimal part and the tirt;t significant tigure.
Since lO"'"*"'* is the least nund)er containijig only n zeros
between tht; decimal part and the first significant figure,
tiierefore
10-<"+".V, 10-''
are in ascending order of magnitude, and consequently log N lies
betweeen — {n+\) and - tt.
Therefore log A"= - (n + 1 ) + a decimal,
or - (?4+ 1) is the characteristic of log N.
The characteristic of the Int/arithm of a dcciinal fraction is
ne(/ative^ atul numerically f/reatrr hy unity than, the iiuiuber of
zeros beticeen the decimal part and the first siynificaut fiyure.
173. If two n^tmhers differ ouly in the posilioti of the decimal
point, their loyarithms differ only in their characteristics.
Let iV and iV" denote two such numbers of which K is the
greatci', and let r denote the diU'erence in the nund>er of their

Now r is an integei*, and consequently its addition to log N'

by a unit than the number of digits in the integral part of the

Tlie ex})lanation of the method by which tables of logarithms

of the chsiracteristic. Since the same number of decimal phaces
is employed in each case, the decimal point is omitted. And
since an increase of 105 in the logarithm •'ives an increase of 1
in the number, an increase of G3 in the logarithm gives an in-
crease of —-T. •^'~ iii the number. Finally, we observe that the

otherwise the work woi'ld have been exactly the same. For
example, 2.3 1G98 is the logarithm of ,022232. The mantissa
34698 depends upoii the se(|uence of digits 22232 ; the charac-

CHAPTER XII.
SOLUTION OP TRIANGLES BY LOGARITHMS.
176. In Chapter V. wo tlccluccd tli«! most important rolations
between the sides and angles of a triiingle, and gave examples of
their application. \Ve shall now show how logarithms are em-
ployed to abbreviate tlie labor when numbers consisting of several
digits aie involved.
177. The sines, cosines and tangents of all angles between 0°
and 45^ are each less than unity and conse(|uently their loga-
rithms fire negative. In practice it is found convenient to render
all such logarithms positive by adding 10 to each. The loga
rithms of the trigonometrical ratios thus increased by 10 are
called Tabular Logarithujs, and are distinguished from true
logarithms by the letter L. Thus, L sin 15^ means log sin
15°+ 10. The logarithmic cotangents being already positive,
the 10 may be omitted and their true value given.
178. For convenience of reference we have given in the
Appendix the tabular logarithms of the ratios most fre sill A.

Ex. 4. — Find tlio angle whoso logaiitlmiio cosine is 9.87900.
From tho tables we tind :
L cos tO^ 40' = 9.8799G L cos 40'' 40' = 9.87906
L cos 40' no' = 9.87887 Given log =9.87900
Diff. for 10'-= 109. Given diir. = ^.
Then X.> "f 10' = 8' 48", and 40' 40' + 8' 48" = 40" 48' 48" is
the angle reijuired.
180. When an angle is to ho found from its logarithmic sine,
should the given value he greatir than L sin 45 ', we must find
the angle whose cosine has the given value. The dillerence
between this angh; and 90.' will evidently hi; tln^ angle nMjuired.
An example is found in Ait. 194, where /i is to he found from
L sin 7^ = 9.98550. We tind 9.98550 = /> cos 14' 41' :U", then
90^-14° 41' 3l" = 75^ 18' 29", the angle required. The same
method may evidently he pursued with regard to any two com-
plementary ratios.
181. When a given logarithmic tang(Mit is greater than
L tan 45°, !.«., greater than 10, the method of the last article
may be employed, but it is more convenient to reason thus :
L tan (90^ -A) = L cot J = 20 - Z tan A.
The value of L tan (90^- A) will be found in the tables from
which 90- J is found, and then -^1 is known. This method is
employed in Art. 18G, to find /> fiom its logarithmic tangent,
which is greater than 10, and conse(|uently is not found in the
table of tangents. The same im^thod evidently applies to any
ratio and its reciprocal.

The sum of the three angles thus found is 180^, showing the
work to be correct.
189. In the preceding article we might also employ the formula
for sin — , or cos - , and if we were required to find but one
angle either of these would serve our purpose equally weli. But
the formula for tan requires only four logarithms to and all
the angles, whilst either of the others requires six. The formula
for cot —, or for sin A^ might also be employed, though the latter
would require more logarithms. By using a table of natural
cosines the formula for cos A^ Art. 82 (2), might be employed ;
but since it does not consist of factors, it is not adapted for use
with logarithu)S.

Half the difference of the values of c = 96.25.
This proves the work sufficiently accurate.
196. In the solution of problems in which the trigonometrical
tables are employed we should be careful to select the method
which is most appropriate. An. examination of the tables will
show that for tlie natural functions when the angle is small, the
sine and the tangent are the most appropriate. For the differ-
ences in the cosines are too small and those of the cotangent are
irregular, so that in both cases the principle of proportional
parts fails. The reverse is, of course, true, when the angle is
nearly equal to a right angle. For the logarithmic functions
the principle of proportional parts fails for both extremities of

the quadrant, though it holds good throughout the central part.
Wo, therefore, seek for methods of solution not involving very
suiall angles nor those nearly ecjual to a right angle.
For example, when tiie three sides of a triangle are given the
angles may be found from one of the half angle formula*, or from
the sine of the whole angle. If a particular angle is known to
be small wo, should choose the latter method, but if it is very
near a right angle we should choose the former. Again, suppose
we desire to tind an angle from its cosine which is small so that
the angle is nearly equal to a right angle. Then since
cos A=n
we have
tan
A |1 - cos il I I - w
and this formula is free from objections. Such transformations,
however, are rarely necessary. In practical work, measurements
of length containing four significant figures, and angular measure-
ment to the nearest minute, are considered very accurate. The
results obtained from using the tables given in the ordinary way
will more than satisfy these conditions.

are homogeneous functions of the same number of dimensions of
the sides of a triangle, the sides may be replaced by the sines of
opposite angles. The truth of this statement will be evident
from the examples of the preceding article. A formal proof,

If yl, B, C are the angles of a triangle this expression van-

is an odd multiple of a right angle.
201. Since three of the six elements of a triangle, one of them
being a side, are sufficient to determine the remaining elements,
it follows that not more than three independent relations can
exist between the sides and angles. Also from any three inde-

CIRCULAR MEASURE AND RATIOS OP ANGLES.
217. We now give a few of the simpler propositions whicli
show the relation between the circular measure of angles and
their trigonometrical ratios. The reasoning is based upon the
two assumptions of Art. 31, which the reader should carefully
review before proceeding with the subject.
218. If he the circular measure of an arc in the first quac^
rant, sivi 0, 0, tan 0, are in asceuding order ofmayuitude.
In the figure of Art. 33, let ach, AC B, be sides of regular
polygons of n sides inscribed in, and described about, a circle of
a unit radius. Denote the angle BOC by V; then
ch = sin 0, Cb = 0, CB^ tan 0.
Now the perimeters of the inscribed polygon, the circle, and
the described polygon are in order of magnitude, and therefore
/ 1 \ "^
their I -^ I parts, viz., ch, Ch, CB are in order of magnitude,
which proves the proposition.

If in the identity
sin (?i + 1) a + sin (vt - 1 ) a == 2 sin iia cos a
we put 2 cos a--='2 - k,
we get sin (n+l) a= 2 sin tia - sin [it - i) a - k sin ?ia.
Let a:= 10' and for ?<, write 1, 2, 3, etc., in succession,
Thus, sin 20' = 2 sin 10' - k sin 10'
sin 30' - 2 sin 20' - sin 10' - k sin 20'
sin 40' = 2 sin 30' - sin 20' - k sin 30', etc.
These equations give the values of sin 20', sin 30', etc., in
succession. We give a few stei)S of the work, which the student
can easily continue, and conipaie his results with those given in
the tables.
