We draw the perpendicular MM' to CB and we consider the right triangles MCM' and MBM' and the tangent of angles MCM' and MBM'. tan(MCM') = MM' / CM' tan(MBM') = MM' / BM'
☑️The above may be written as
The above may be written as CM' = MM' / tan(MCM') and BM' = MM' / tan(MBM')
The above may be written as CM' = MM' / tan(MCM') and BM' = MM' / tan(MBM') Note that the size of angle MBM' is equal to 75 degrees. Let the length of the side of the square be x.
MM' = x / 2 and CM' + BM' = x
MM' = x / 2 and CM' + BM' = x Substitute the above in the equations CM' = MM' / tan(MCM') and BM' = MM' / tan(MBM')
MM' = x / 2 and CM' + BM' = x Substitute the above in the equations CM' = MM' / tan(MCM') and BM' = MM' / tan(MBM') x = (x/2) / tan(MCM') + (x/2) / tan(75 degrees)
MM' = x / 2 and CM' + BM' = x Substitute the above in the equations CM' = MM' / tan(MCM') and BM' = MM' / tan(MBM') x = (x/2) / tan(MCM') + (x/2) / tan(75 degrees) Divide all terms of the equation by x and multiply them by 2 to obtain
MM' = x / 2 and CM' + BM' = x Substitute the above in the equations CM' = MM' / tan(MCM') and BM' = MM' / tan(MBM') x = (x/2) / tan(MCM') + (x/2) / tan(75 degrees) Divide all terms of the equation by x and multiply them by 2 to obtain 2 = 1 / tan(MCM') + 1 / tan(75 degrees
