COR. VII.

Hence also, the greatest horizontalRandon is double the Impetus, and theElevation wherewith it is made is 4 5 Aor half a Right-Angle for when theFocusPointA, is in'the horizontal Line,AM iAs, is the greatest horizon-tal Randon possible, by that Impetus;and because the Direction, or Tangent,bisects the Right-Angle FAZ, b A 7 fthe Elevation is half a Right-Angle*

COR. Vin.

Hence, any Object, whose Distanceon the Plane of the Horizon is less thanthe greatest Randon, may be hit bytwo Elevations, each of which is theComplement of the other to 90°. forwhen the Focus Points/^ andj^ are e-
