$${AB}={t}\:\:,\:\:{radius}={r}\:,\:{AD}={DC}={b} \\ $$$${upper}\:{section}\:{of}\:{OB}={c} \\ $$$${t}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{2}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\:\:;\:\:\:\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha=\frac{{r}}{{t}+{r}} \\ $$$$\frac{\sqrt{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} }}{\mathrm{2}{b}}=\frac{{c}}{{r}}=\frac{{r}}{{t}+{r}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\:\frac{\sqrt{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} }}{{t}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}=\frac{{c}}{{r}}=\frac{{r}}{{t}+{r}} \\ $$$$\:\:\Rightarrow\:\:{c}=\frac{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} }{{t}+{r}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\frac{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\frac{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} }{{t}+{r}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\frac{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\left({t}+{r}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${let}\:\:{t}/{r}={s} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\:\:\frac{\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\left({s}+\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }}{\mathrm{2}{s}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\left({s}+\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\left({s}+\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{2}{s}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${s}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{s}−\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${s}=\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{s}+\mathrm{1}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}\:=\:\mathrm{2}−\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:. \\ $$$$\:\:\Rightarrow\:\:\boldsymbol{\alpha}=\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left(\mathrm{2}−\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:\right)=\mathrm{15}°\:. \\ $$

$${r}={radius} \\ $$$${AD}={DC} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{CF}=\frac{{OB}}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{{r}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${CD}={CE}×\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha=\mathrm{2}{r}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha \\ $$$${CF}={CD}×\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha=\mathrm{2}{r}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha\:\mathrm{sin}\:\alpha={r}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{r}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha=\frac{{r}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}\alpha=\mathrm{30}°\:\Rightarrow\alpha=\mathrm{15}° \\ $$
