we have
two equal angles (x), If we
extend k and N such that they meet at right angle we have a 90 -45-45 triangle.In isoscles triangle two sides have equal length.
In this case side opposite angle x are equal.We also know that there are two sides with length 3 and 4
side of length 3 is parallel to n and side of length 4 is parallel to kTherefore we have K + 4 = n + 3
If we reduce 3 from both sides we get,
k + 1 = n
Therefore since we add something to k to make it equal to n k is smaller than n
