...is what it wants of 90° ; the supplement of an arc is what it what it wants of 180°. 2. The cosine of an arc is the perpendicular distance from the center...magnitude as the sine of the complement of the arc. Thus, CF, is the cosine of the arc AB; but CF—KB, the sine of BD. 3. The tangent of an arc is a line... | |
