yes. the problem is still not easy to solve. one can not get a closed formula for case d≠0 to calculate θ directly.

I don′t think it′s possible to find a closed formula to calculate the angle θ directly. If we know the angle ∠BAC, let′s say ϕ, then we can also find θ. I think we can get a single equation, though a complicated one, for ϕ, something like F(ϕ,a,b,d,l)=0, not in form of ϕ=F(a,b,d,l).

To proceed beyond this , isn′t possible for me. This is all i could arrive at, but ∠BAC or/and ∠ABD is/are eliminated, eventually.
