We have:![]()
This yields:![]()
Let’s square both side:![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
We have a couple of cases for base angles here:![]()
Looking at the figure, we see that the red lines are the values of the
when the
is ![]()
The angles here are:
and ![]()
We have to exclude
since it does not verify the equation.
However
is a valid solution since ![]()
For the second factor:![]()
From the figure we see two values:
The third angle is ![]()
We can see that ![]()
If we try to plug the values in the equation it is not a solution.
The fourth angle is ![]()
We can see that ![]()
This one verifies our equation.
So the angles are:
and ![]()
Exercise 28:
Solve for
:![]()
Solution:
We have:![]()
![]()

![]()
We get:![]()
![]()
Let
with ![]()
We write:![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
The values of
:![]()
![]()
is not valid since it is less than ![]()
The possible values of ![]()
Looking at the figure, for this
we have two possible values for the ![]()
![]()
This yields:![]()
Plug in:![]()
Now the left side:![]()
The second angle is:![]()
When we plug in this does verifies the equation.
