If the functions be written as in the above figure, then

1. Of any three functions written consecutively on a circular arc or on a diameter, the mean is the product of the extremes. Thus sinA = tanAcosA, 1 = sinAcosecA, and so on.

2. In each triangle the square of the function written at the vertex turned downwards is equal to the sum of the squares of the functions written at the other two vertices. Thus I2 = sin2A + cos2A, and so on.
