e until it has been made into a perfecttriangle, whose angles add up toexactly 180°. If we are concernedwith this triangle alone, the bestthing that we can do is to divide upthe error into three equal parts andapply one to each of the angles, sothat the sum of the thus correctedangles is exactly… … sinZ?K£ D Y=DE cosec D YE sin DE Y,EY=DE cosec D YE s\n YDE.
