In triangle ABC, AC=BC and ACB=90. Points P and Q are on ¯AB such that P is between A and Q and QCP=45. If cos ACP = 2/3, then find cos BCQ.

                                C

                              45

 

          A          P            Q                   B

 

arccos (2/3) = ACP  ≈  48.18°

 

Impossible   ACB   = 90

But ACP +QCP  = 45 + 48.18  = 93.18  which is > 90
