Problem
Let be a rhombus with
. Let
be the midpoint of
, and let
be the point
on
such that
is perpendicular to
. What is the degree measure of
?
Solution (Law of Sines and Law of Cosines)
Without loss of generality, we assume the length of each side of is 2.
Because
is the midpoint of
,
.
Because is a rhombus,
.
In , following from the law of sines,
We have .
Hence,
By solving this equation, we get .
Because ,
In , following from the law of sines,
Because , the equation above can be converted as
Therefore,
Therefore, .
