Page 45 - Cylinder, generated by the motion of a circle parallel to itself, and at right angles to its own plane (Fig. 89). Cone, having a circle for its base, and terminated by a point (Fig. 90). Inclined pyramid (Fig. 91). Fig. 89. Fig. 90. Fig. 91. Inclined cylinder (Fig. 92). Sphere, the curve surface of which is at all points equally distant from the centre (Fig. 93). Spheroid, or elongated sphere, something like an ellipse in its side elevation (Fig. 94). Fig. 92. Fig. 93. Fig. 94." Degrees. — Angles...
Page 64 - It may be necessary here to remark, that though the upper part of the section intersects the cone at a much less diameter in its length than at the lower part of the section, nevertheless each half of ths ellipse from the middle of its length is identical.
Page 49 - Any multiples of these numbers may be used with equal propriety, when convenient ; as 6, 8, and 10, or 9, 12, and 15, whether inches, feet, or any other units of length. To draw a perpendicular to a given line from a given point without the line. FIRST, When the point is conveniently near the middle of the line. 1.
Page 241 - Or, use a straight edge and triangle. Or, use a sheet of celluloid with a set of lines parallel to one edge and about И in.
Page 51 - This is the line required. The methods of describing squares and rectangles already given are also available for drawing parallels ; though they are not so generally ready of application as the foregoing. To divide a straight line into any number of equal parts. 1. Let AB, Fig. 108, be the straight line, to be divided — c i D -- Fig.
Page 50 - If there be no room below the line AB the intersections F may be taken above, that is between the point c and the line. This mode is not, however, so good as the one already described, because it is not likely to be so exact.
Page 35 - Fig. 28. the lines have nothing to do with the size of the angle : thus, these two angles (Figs. 27 and 28) are said to be equal. If the lines are both straight, it is called a rectilineal angle ; if both curved, a curvilineal angle. The lines are the sides of the angle ; the point of meeting is the vertex of the angle. Right Angle. — When one straight line stands upon another, so as to make the two angles equal, each of these angles is called a right angle (Fig. 29) ; and one line is said to be...
Page 52 - E the .s line upon which an equal angle is to be drawn at the point D. From the points A and D, with any convenient radius, describe arcs FG and H i. 2. Set off the length of the arc FG, contained between the lines AB and A c, upon the arc H i, and draw D i.
Page 52 - The latter will thus be divided into five equal parts. To construct an equilateral triangle. 1. Let AB, Fig. 110, be the length of the side of the triangle. On A and B as centres, with radius AB describe arcs cutting each other at c. 2. Join AC and EC; the triangle, ABC, Kg.
Page 53 - III. 16). 2d. Let C be the given angle. With C as a centre describe an arc cutting the sides of the angle in A and B ; bisect the arc AB with the line CD, and it will also bisect the angle C (III.
