Euclid.

1. Define a right angle; prove that the angles which one straight line makes with another upon one side of it, are either two right angles or are together equal to two right angles.

2. Describe a parallelogram which shall be equal to a given triangle and have one of its angles equal to a given rectilineal angle.

VOLUNTARY PORTION.

1. About a given circle describe a triangle equiangular to a given triangle.

If the triangle circumscribing the circle be equilateral, find its area when the circumference of the circle is 60 feet.

2. Upon a given straight line describe a rectilineal figure of four sides, similar and similarly situated to a given rectilineal figure of four sides.

Show how to find the area of a trapezium two of whose opposite sides are parallel.

3. Prove, by means of algebra, the rule for finding the greatest common measure of two numbers.

Reduce to its lowest terms:

ab(x2 — y2)+xy (a2 — b2)

-

ab(x2+ y2)+xy(a2+b2)

4. Find by means of the logarithmic tables:

Afternoon Paper.

OBLIGATORY PORTION.

Algebra.

1. Account for (a-b) and (b-a)' having the same value when a 7 and b=3; what is the

value of

a2 - ba

a+b

2. From

a3 + 3a2b+3ab2 + b3 take a2 - 3a2b+3ab2 — b3.

Simplify

3x2 + 2xy

3. Multiply

{4x2 + y2}

{xy-x2}.

2x3-3x2y + 4xy3 — 3y3 by (2x + 3y).

Divide the product obtained by (2x2 − xy + 3y2).

6. A General, after losing a battle, found that he had only 3rds of his army left fit for action; 3th of the army were wounded, and the remainder, 2000 men, were either killed or missing; of how many did his army consist before the battle?

Euclid.

1. If a straight line be divided into two equal and also into two unequal parts, the squares of the two unequal parts are together double of the square of half the line and of the square of the line between the points of section.

2. If a point be taken within a circle, from which there fall more than two equal straight lines to the circumference, that point is the centre of the circle.
