4. If the diameter MN of the circle circumscribing a given triangle ABC be drawn perpendicular to the base at O, and a perpendicular BP be dropped upon this line from the vertex, then will the square of half the difference of the sides AB, BC, be equal to the rectangle under the segments MO, PN, of the diameter between the circle and the base, and between the circle and the foot of the perpendicular BP.

10. State the condition necessary that the perimeter of a polygon whose vertices lie on given lines may be a minimum; and show that it is not possible to construct a quadrilateral satisfying this condition, unless the given lines form a quadrilateral inscribable in a circle.

II. Prove that the circle which passes through the feet of the perpendiculars of a triangle touches the inscribed and exscribed circles of the triangle.

Translate the following passage into Latin Prose :

It was not till the Gauls had crossed the Tiber, and were at the rivulet of the Allia, less than twelve miles from the gates, that a Roman military force sought to hinder their passage. And even now they went into battle with arrogance and fool-hardiness,-not as against an army, but as against freebooters under inexperienced leaders, Camillus having, in consequence of the dissensions of the orders, withdrawn from taking part in the affairs. Those against whom they were to fight were but barbarians; what need was there of a camp or of securing a retreat? These barbarians, however, were men whose courage despised death, and their mode of fighting was to the Italians as novel as it was terrible; drawing their swords, the Celts precipitated themselves with furious onset on the Roman phalanx, and shattered it at the first shock. Not only was the overthrow complete, but the disorderly flight of the Romans, who hastened to place the river between them and the pursuing barbarians, carried the greater portion of the defeated army to the right bank of the Tiber and towards Veii. The capital was thus left to the mercy of the invaders; the small force that was left behind, or that had fled thither, was not sufficient to garrison the walls, and three days after the battle the victors marched through the open gates into Rome.—MOMMSEN, History of Rome.
