Calculating the required angle, let it be x.


Let a be the side length of the ascribed square.


½(ab) = 1

b = 2/a --- (1).


1+1+c = ½(a²)

c = ½(a²)-2

c = ½(a²-4) square units.


d = a-b

d = a-(2/a)

d = (a²-2)/a units.


f²+d² = a²

f² = a²-((a²-2)/a)²

f² = a²-((a⁴-4a²+4)/a²)

f² = (a⁴-a⁴+4a²-4)/a²

f² = (4a²-4)/a²

f = 2√(a²-1)/a units.


g = a-f

g = a-(2√(a²-1)/a)

g = (a²-2√(a²-1))/a units.


It implies;


½(ag) = c

½*a*(a²-2√(a²-1))/a = ½(a²-4)


a²-2√(a²-1) = a²-4


2 = √(a²-1)


a² = 5


a = √(5) units.

Again, a is the side length of the ascribed square.


Recall.


b = 2/a

And a = √(5) units.

b = 2/√(5)

b = ⅕(2√(5)) units.

b is the height of the purple area inscribed triangle.


Recall Again.


g = (a²-2√(a²-1))/a

And a = √(5) units.

g = (√(5)²-2√(√(5)²-1)/√(5)

g = (5-4)/√(5)

g = ⅕√(5) units.

g is the height of the inscribed triangle with the indicated angle.


Therefore;


h = a-b

h = √(5)-⅕(2√(5))

h = ⅕(3√(5)) units.


It implies, x, the required angle is;


x = j+k


tanj = b/g

j = atan(⅕(2√(5))/(⅕√(5)))

j = atan(2)°


tank = h/g

k = atan((⅕*3√(5))/(⅕√(5)))

k = atan(3)°


Therefore;


x = atan(2)+atan(3)

x = 135°
