Here I have quoted Post#36, where you refer to @bob012345 's figure in Post #35. Rotate bob0.., 's figure by ##22.5^\circ##, ignoring the larger square. Now the resulting horizontal lines are cut by the vertical lines in the ratios; ##1:\sqrt 2:1## . Similarly, the resulting vertical lines...

Of course, those angles are in degrees and are rounded to the nearest degree.

A busy man is now going to be so much busier.

I couldn't see the video either, but following your early posts, especially Posts 2 & 4, I was able understand how this procedure produced multiple 3-4-5 right triangles. Some crude sketches also helped me see that many smaller triangles also resulted., but, the crudeness of these sketches was...

Not only is this true for all right triangles, it's true for all triangles in general.

What does this figure have to do with the given problem?

What is "SF" ? I suppose may be Scale Factor ? The given figure may be fooling you into assuming more than what is stated.

Are you assuming anything about how side CD is related to side EB ?

I agree. The degree of the univariate polynomial function, ##P(x) = 0 \,, \ ## is usually said to to be undefined. In other words, it has no degree. Depending upon context, you may alternatively see the zero polynomial be assigned the degree of ##-1## or perhaps ##-\infty## .

Consider the case of a right triangle.

You warned that you were being picky. I don't think you were being too picky. I didn't notice that you did also notice the round-off error. That was worth mentioning. ... Maybe I'm being too picky? . . . No, not really.

It looks like that was simply a typo. The line preceding that was: ##\displaystyle \quad\quad \tan \alpha= 0.25 ##

How? . . . indeed . How are ##\displaystyle T_{By}## and ##\displaystyle T_{Ay}## related ? How are ##\displaystyle T_{Ax}## and ##\displaystyle T_{Ay}## related ? How are ##\displaystyle T_{Ax}## and ##\displaystyle T_{Bx}## related ?

So, you're revisiting your old thread. Are you celebrating its 9th Anniversary ? It appears that @Samy_A has not been seen lately, so I'll reply. Aaah ... not so clear. ##\displaystyle \tan 270^\circ \ ## is undefined. Furthermore, ##\displaystyle \ \tan^{-1} (-1) = -45^\circ##
