where s = 12 (a + b + c) is the semiperimeter of the triangle. Similar relations involving angles B and C can
be obtained.

Suppose these quantities are arranged in a circle as in Fig. 12-20 where we attach the prefix co (indicat-
ing complement) to hypotenuse c and angles A and B.
Any one of the parts of this circle is called a middle part, the two neighboring parts are called adjacent
parts, and the two remaining parts are called opposite parts. Then Napiers rules are
12.101. The sine of any middle part equals the product of the tangents of the adjacent parts.
12.102. The sine of any middle part equals the product of the cosines of the opposite parts.
