        I don't think XY is parallel to VW though. Angles YVW and XWV would have been equivalent if this is true.

                    Hard to follow, brute force solution using projections and arctan. Exact answer suggests a more elegant solution but I'm getting some kip instead...

                        Yay for tenth grade geometry.

                        I could most likely do this, but hell, it's midnight and I'm being lazy right now.

                        what brought this country together?

                        desegregation

                        we need to segregate again so we can DEsegregate and everyone will feel good again

                            wow i just realized i was trying to find the wrong angle...
                            good job dude you are brilliant
                            i was considering doing some trig stuff but i dont have a graphing calculator
                            ps. did u make that picture or was the solution on the net?
                            pps. i dl'ed ffr smooth you're brilliant for making it

                                this is retardedly easy trig brb pulling out old math notes and killing this

                                EDIT: nevermind mrichards beat me to the answer :<

                                        yeah i kind of posted before reading anything but the question

                                        my solution was a ****load easier too

                                            Correct solution, but needlessly complicated. There is a solution that requires no trig -- just pure geometric reasoning, and this is the solution I'm asking about. Regardless, nice job! Very cool

                                                    i've got almost all the angles, need 4 more, lol, I haven't done geometry in WAY too long... 2 months...

                                                    Edit: yeah I"m pretty ****ing stumped, haven't looked at mr richard's "solution" yet, though.

                                                        hmm it has to do with congruent sides i think...
