Extract

1. Let the <PAB be θ, where P is a point on the arc of a semicircle described on AB of which O is the middle point. Then making

<OPC = <OPA, the <PCB = 3θ.

Since the triangles APC, OPC are similar, we have

We shall express each of the ratios sin 3θ/sin θ, cos 3θ/cos θ, etc., as a function of AC/OC.
