Calculating angle x.


Let the hypotenuse of the inscribed right-angled triangle of the ascribed quadrilateral be 1 unit.


2a² = 1²

a = √(1/2) units.

a = 0.7071067812 units.


c = (b+0.7071067812) units.


Observing similar right-angled triangle side length ratios.


0.7071067812 - (b+0.7071067812)

b - 0.7071067812


Cross Multiply.


b²+0.7071067812b = 0.5

b²+0.7071067812b-0.5 = 0


Resolving the above quadratic equation via completing the square approach to get b.


(b+0.3535533906)² = 0.5+0.3535533906²

(b+0.3535533906)² = 0.625

b = -0.3535533906±√(0.625)

b = -0.3535533906±0.790569415

b = 0.4370160244 units.


Recall.


c = (b+0.7071067812)

And b = 0.4370160244 units.

c = 0.4370160244+0.7071067812

c = 1.1441228056 units.


tand = 1.1441228056/0.7071067812

d = 58.2825255882°


tane = 0.4370160244/0.7071067812

e = 31.7174744081°


It implies;


x = d-e

x = 58.2825255882-31.7174744081

x = 26.5650511801°

x = atan(½)°
