1 66 PLANE GEOMETRY [CH. THEOREM 94. [Newton's Theorem.] If POQ, ROS are two variable chords of a conic, fixed in direction, then the ratio " ^ is constant. OK . C/o Fig. 82. Take any other position 0' of O. Draw the chords F'O'Q', R'O'S' in the given directions. Let R'S' cut FQ at N; FQ, F'Q' meet at a point at infinity ^. Since Q, Q', F, F' are finite points, -!i^=i=-^— . Apply Carnot to the triangle a-NO'. Th NF.NQ 0.Q' ■ aP O'R' . O'S' ^" NR' .NS" aQ.aF ' O'F' .0'Q'~^'' . O'F' .O'Q _ NF.NQ ..."

The standard equations of the ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola can be deduced from Newton's theorem, by making use of the fact (see page 134) that the ellipse and hyperbola have one pair of perpen- dicular conjugate diameters; while the parabola has one diameter which bisects all chords perpendicular to it.
