    Actually click this one instead. It is easier to see.

    You can solve this analytically also without having to show it geometrically. a + b and c are just L-Ltan(30). L being the length of one of the sides of the square.

  5. six,
    your solution just beautiful. There is no math at all. As we say here: "just drawing lines in the sand..."
    Thank you.
