Now, since BC is greater than FG, Hyp.... BH is greater than FK, and BH2 greater than FK2. Hence EH2 must be less than EK2, and EH less than EK. 1. The shortest chord that can be drawn through a given point within a circle is that which is perpendicular to the diameter through the point. 2. Of two chords of a circle which intersect each other, and make unequal angles with the diameter drawn through their point of intersection, that which makes the less angle is the greater. 3. If two secants of a circle intersect each other, and make unequal angles with the diameter drawn through their point of intersection, that part which is intercepted by the oce on the secant making the less angle is greater than the corresponding part on the other. 4. Through either of the points of intersection of two circles draw the greatest possible straight line terminated both ways by the O"!8. Draw also the least possible, and show that the two are at right angles to each other. PROPOSITION 16. Theorem. The straight line drawn perpendicular to a diameter of a circle from either end of it, is a tangent to the circle; and every other straight line drawn through the same point cuts the circle Euclid's proof of this proposition is indirect. The one in the text is given by Orontius Finseus (1544), the second part, however, being somewhat simplified. Let ABC be a circle, of which F is the centre and AC a diameter; through C let there be drawn DE JL AC, and any other straight line HK: it is required to prove that DE is a tangent to the Q ABC, and that HK cuts the circle. Take any point G in DE, and join FG; from F draw FL _L HK. I. 12 Because L FCG is r...

This is a reproduction of the original artefact. Generally these books are created from careful scans of the original. This allows us to preserve the book accurately and present it in the way the author intended. Since the original versions are generally quite old, there may occasionally be certain imperfections within these reproductions.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
