How To Use Proportional Parts in Mathematical Table

The document explains how to use proportional parts in mathematical tables, specifically through the method of linear interpolation to estimate values between listed angles. It states that the differences in function values are assumed to be directly proportional to the differences in angle measures over small intervals. The document also includes a formula for linear interpolation, although specific examples are not fully provided.

HOW TO USE PROPORTIONAL PARTS IN MATHEMATICAL TABLE.

 Table cannot list all angles.


 Therefore, approximation must be used to find values between those listed in the table.
 This method is known as linear interpolation.
 The assumption is made that differences in function value are directly proportional to the differences
of measures of the angles over small intervals.
 Linear interpolation formula state that’s;

 For instance in natural trigonometric tables;
