The drawing must be wrong because the large triangle consists of angle B =80+20= 100degrees and angle C=80+30=110degrees and angle A=20degrees. Together these becomes 100+110+20= 230degrees inside the large triangle. That is not possible. All triangles have only 180degrees Please fix the article. Thank you. 193.71.60.110 (talk) 18:06, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are misinterpreting the drawing. B=80, not 80+20 (there is a 20 degree wedge inside it that does not add to it. Similarly C=80, not 80+30. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:50, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The user, and myself, are misinterpreting the drawing because it is badly drawn. Nesting angles in this way is unclear and should be avoided without good reason. Calum (talk) 13:37, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Generalization

Must contain generalized solution. Add it, please!--Nashev (talk) 19:29, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
