I'm so bad at trig

Geometry Level pending

Let there be 2 acute angles, θ \theta and β \beta which satisfy the relation a sec θ + b sec β = c a \sec \theta + b\sec \beta = c , where a , b , c a,b,c are positive integers. Given that θ = 72 \theta = 72 , find the value of β \beta that minimizes the expression a cos ( 72 ) + b cos β a \cos(72) + b\cos\beta .


The answer is 72.
