2. The _Supplement_ of an arc is 180° minus the arc.

3. The _Sine_ of an angle, or of an arc, is a line drawn from one end of

an arc, perpendicular to a diameter drawn through the other end.

4. The _Cosine_ of an arc is the perpendicular distance from the center

of the circle to the sine of the arc; or, it is the same in magnitude as

the sine of the complement of the arc.

5. The _Tangent_ of an arc is a line touching the circle in one

extremity of the arc, and continued from thence, to meet a line drawn

through the center and the other extremity.

6. The _Cotangent_ of an arc is the tangent of the complement of the

arc. The _Co_ is but a contraction of the word complement.

7. The _Secant_ of an arc is a line drawn from the center of the circle

to the extremity of the tangent.
