I think this is not possible in a square???  but I′m tired and maybe I′m wrong...

tan α=((1−x)/1)=1−x  tan α=((1−y)/1)=1−y  ⇒x=y  ⇒AE=AF  ⇒β=π−2×(π/2)=0  ⇒impossible

$$\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha=\frac{\mathrm{1}−{x}}{\mathrm{1}}=\mathrm{1}−{x} \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha=\frac{\mathrm{1}−{y}}{\mathrm{1}}=\mathrm{1}−{y} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}={y} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{AE}={AF} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\beta=\pi−\mathrm{2}×\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{impossible} \\ $$
