Secondly, If the angle C isacute, and B greater than A, thesame construction will again ap-ply, and DEF will be the trianglerequired. But if the angle C is acute, andthe side B less than A, then thearc described from the centre E,with the radius EF=B, will cutthe side DF in two points F andG, lying… … Scholium, If the arc described with E as a centre, shouldbe tangent to the line DG, the triangle would be right angled,and there would be but one soluiion. The problem would beimpossible in all cases, if the side B were less than the perpen-dicular let fall from E on the line DF. BOOK III. PROBLEM…
