Half of the angle +x+ is +x%2F2+
Let +a+ = the length of the
side opposite angle +x+
+sin%28+x%2F2%29+=+a%2F2+
+a+=+2%2Asin%28+x%2F2+%29+

I did this problem for you. You asked for the solution and I gave it to you. Why have you reposted it?

I should never have spent all that time solving it for you.
