A95751 The trissotetras: or, a most exquisite table for resolving all manner of triangles, whether plaine or sphericall, rectangular or obliquangular, with greater facility, then ever hitherto hath been practised: most necessary for all such as would attaine to the exact knowledge of fortification, dyaling, navigation, surveying, architecture, the art of shadowing, taking of heights, and distances, the use of both the globes, perspective, the skill of making the maps, the theory of the planets, the calculating of their motions, and of all other astronomicall computations whatsoever. Now lately invented, and perfected, explained, commented on, and with all possible brevity, and perspicuity, in the hiddest, and most re-searched mysteries, from the very first grounds of the science it selfe, proved, and convincingly demonstrated. / By Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromartie Knight. Published for the benefit of those that are mathematically affected. Urquhart, Thomas, Sir, 1611-1660. 1645 (1645) Wing U140; Thomason E273_9; ESTC R212170 85,776 129

right_n for_o the_o two_o inward_a be_v equal_a to_o the_o external_a one_o and_o there_o remain_v of_o the_o three_o but_o one_o which_o be_v prove_v in_o the_o first_o apodictick_n to_o be_v the_o

plain_a triangle_n be_v equal_a to_o two_o right_a angle_n the_o which_o we_o undertake_v to_o prove_v 6._o by_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o two_o acute_a of_o a_o rectangle_v plain_a triangle_n be_v
