Consider AB : ( x measured from B )

 

                                     ;

 
                                      
 

                                      

 

Thus,

 
                                     
 

or                                                                                                                                                        (v)

 

Similarly,

                                         
 

or                                                                                                                                                  (vi)

 

Solving eqs. (v) and (vi)
