...Petzval's arrangement ; for it appears that С 1 is greater than С m. The proof of this is easy enough. Any two sides of a triangle are, together, greater than the third, therefore 1 С and С A are together greater than A 1, and therefore than A m. Take away the common...

...difference. Let two circumferences cut each other in the point A. Draw the radii CA, DA ; then, because any two sides of a triangle are together greater than the third side (Prop. VIII., B. I.), CD must be less than the sum of AD and AC. Also, DA must be less than the...
