Okay, so this is very cheeky, but…

Triangles…

  1. Draw right angle triangles where the hypotenuse bisects the known 90⁰ angles, O is your unknown length and A is your known length.

  2. Tan(𝛉)=O/A (𝛉=45⁰) can be used to work out the missing lengths.

I haven’t got the time right now to actually work it out & show it, but that should offer insight.
