DE MOIVRWS PROPERTY OF THE CIRCLE. 247 170. De Moivre's Property of the Circle. Let be the centre of a circle, P any point in its plane. Divide the circumference into D n equal parts EC, CD, DE, , begin- ning at any point B; and join and P with the points of division B, G, D, .... Let POB = 6; then will OB 2M -2 OB" OP" cos ?i0+OP 2n = PB 2 PC 2 PD 2 . To n terms. For, put OB = a, OP = a;, and = -; then PB 2 = OP 2 + OB 2 - 2 OP .
