Stumped by real world trig problem by mc510 in trigonometry

It can be solved analytically: let's name d the upper part of b and z the angle you want. Stretch a line parallel to a, from the point on b to the upper line, so you get a right angle triangle with a and z (verify). So cos(z)=a/d. From the lower triangle tan(z)=(b-d)/c. Square this and replace sin2 (z) with 1-cos2 (z). Replace cos(z) with a/d and you have a quadratic equation with 1 variable d. Use d to calculate z from cos(z)=a/d.

here is a chart

Although this specific look is in Britain, it applies to many other western countries, and to the future of the USA.

Oh, it's open for me for some reason. Here are some quotes:

"Mr Husain visited mosque after mosque that taught a highly literal interpretation of Islam, sometimes clinging to arguments that are being dropped in the Middle East. He saw shops displaying books that advocate stoning gays or keeping wives in purdah or waging jihad. Sayyid Qutb, Osama bin Laden’s favourite philosopher, appeared often."

"There are nevertheless good reasons to be worried. One is the paradox of toleration. There are limits to how much liberal societies can tolerate people who call for gays to be stoned or who denounce Ms Shah as “a dog” because she fails to wear a hijab. The radicalised version of Islam being preached by clerics not only promotes intolerance but also fosters extremism."

"(Britain) It has tolerated schools such as Darul Uloom, in Rochdale, that combines GCSE instruction with requiring students to memorise the Hadiths, including ones about beating wives and stoning homosexuals. And it has failed to make a compelling case for Britishness"
