Math Problem Statement
if the triangle has angles alpha=45, beta=45, gamma=90, a=4cm, b=4cm, c=root of (aa+bb), and we construct the axes of the angles of each angle, we get the triangle KLM , what are the sizes of the angles?
Solution
Given the problem, we have a right-angled isosceles triangle with angles , , and . The sides opposite these angles are , , and the hypotenuse .
When the angle bisectors of a triangle are constructed, they meet at the incenter of the triangle. The angles of the new triangle formed by the intersection points of the angle bisectors, typically denoted as triangle , are half the sum of the angles of the original triangle.
Calculating the angles of triangle :
-
Angle at (opposite ):
- The angle at will be half the sum of the other two angles :
-
Angle at (opposite ):
- The angle at will be half the sum of the other two angles :
-
