((sin 2θ)/b)=((sin θ)/a)  ⇒   b=2acos θ  Also   ((sin θ)/a)=((sin ((π/2)−(θ/2)))/(a+b))  ⇒  (a+b)sin θ=acos (θ/2)         (a+2acos θ)sin θ=acos (θ/2)  ⇒   sin θ+2sin θcos θ=cos (θ/2)  if we let sin (θ/2)=t               2t+4t(1−2t^2 )=1         8t^3 −6t+1=0       same equation, i thought i was  getting another cubic..!

thank you for trying from an other  aspect.   the solution of the cubic eqn. is in this  case simple, they are cos 40°, cos 160°  and cos 280°.    but we can use a trick to make it easier.  let α=(θ/2)  we have got   8 sin^3  α −6 sin α +1=0  ⇒1−2(3 sin α−4 sin^3  α)=0    on the other side we know  sin 3α=3 sin α−4 sin^3  α    ⇒1−2 sin 3α=0  ⇒sin 3α=(1/2)  ⇒3α=30°  ⇒α=10°=(θ/2)  ⇒θ=20°

thanks for enlightening further sir.  i was wondering how the cubic  yielded θ=20°.

I solved the cubic eqn. directly without  using the trick above.  t^3 −(3/4)t+(1/8)=0  ⇒t^3 +3pt+q=0  ...(i)  with p=−(1/4) and q=(1/8)  the solution of (i) is following:  D=q^2 +4p^3 =(1/8^2 )−(4/4^3 )=−(3/(64))<0  ⇒there are 3 real roots:  t_1 =2 (√(−p)) cos ((ϕ/3))  t_2 =2 (√(−p)) cos ((ϕ/3)+120°)  t_3 =2 (√(−p)) cos ((ϕ/3)+240°)  with cos ϕ=((−q)/(2 (√(−p^3 ))))=((−1/8)/(2×1/8))=−(1/2)  ⇒ϕ=120°  ⇒ϕ/3=40°  ⇒t_1 =2 (√(−p)) cos ((ϕ/3))=2×(1/2)×cos 40°=cos 40°  ⇒t_2 =2 (√(−p)) cos ((ϕ/3)+120°)=cos 160°  ⇒t_3 =2 (√(−p)) cos ((ϕ/3)+240°)=cos 280°    but only t_3 =cos 280° is suitable, since  cos 280°=sin 10°  ⇒t=sin (x/2)=sin 10°  ⇒x=20°

thanks Sir, let me consult some  more literature on solution of  cubic equations.
