Let's call the long side of the triangle c ,the longest side of the triangle is:
a 2 + b 2 = c 2 ∴ a 2 + b 2 = c
Let's call short side of the square symmetrical triangle a .So, c is:
c = a 2 + a 2 = 2 a 2 = a 2
The ratio of the long side and the short side is :
a c = a a 2 = 2
So the angle is:
sin − 1 ( 2 ) = 4 5 ∘
