Seite 13 - R, (mechanics' squares, if true, are always right angled;) if the sides are nearer together, as S. Q. R, they form an acute angle; if the sides are wider apart, or diverge from each other more than a right angle, they form an obtuse angle, as VQR The magnitude of an angle does not depend on the length of the sides, but upon their divergence from each other ; an angle is said to be...

Seite 9 - A. 2. A LINE is considered as length without breadth or thickness, it is in fact a succession of points ; its extremities therefore, are points. Lines are of three kinds ; right lines, curved lines, and mixed lines. 3. A RIGHT LINE, or as it is more commonly called, a straight line, is the shortest that can be drawn between two given points as B. 4. A CURVE or CURVED LINE is that which does not lie evenly between its terminating points, and of which no portion, however small, is straight; it is therefore...
