Famous problems of elementary geometry: the duplication of the cube; the trisection of an angle; the quadrature of the circle; an authorized translation of F. Klein's Vorträge über ausgewählte fragen der elementargeometrie, ausgearbeitet von F. Tägert (1897)

simply by the use)f some elementary notions of projective geometry. By ourconstruction we have obviously associated with every point x)f the lower range one, and only one, point of the upper, solihat to the point x = oo corresponds the point x = 0, and con-versely. Since in such a correspondence… … X o +i«1 Fig. 6. To determine upon the axis of X we connect the point xl — 4 upon the upper with the point +1 upon the lower tan-gent (Fig- 6). The point thus determined upon the vertical 4diameter we connect with the point — above. This line xi cuts off upon the axis of X the intercept . For the…
