R being spherical radius of small circle.

1. The angles of a triangle are A= 47° 46', B=65° 12′, C=67° 2′, and the radius of inscribed circle is 10 feet; determine the sides.

2. From a vessel which is pursuing a due easterly course, two lighthouses A, B are observed, the former bearing due north, the latter 14° east of north. After running a certain distance, B bears due north, A 23° west of north. The distance between the lighthouses being known to be 30 miles, find the length run by the vessel in the interval between the observations.

3. Calculate the height of a meteor by the method indicated in (6) of preceding Paper; the triangle of observation being equilateral, each side being 20 miles, and the altitudes 0, 0, 4 being cot-1, cot-11, cot-1.

4. On a circular base whose radius is 20 yards, is constructed a dome of spherical form having a surface 3000 square yards. Determine whether the dome will be less or greater than a hemisphere, and the radius of the sphere of which it forms a part.

5. Given in a spherical triangle a=32°, b = 47°, A = 40°; determine whether the triangle is a possible one, and if so, calculate the angles B, C. 6. Determine the error in the approximate formula

13 log 2 = 4+log 9 - log 11,

and hence calculate log 2 to seven decimal places, assuming modulus = .4342944.
