Problem
In a given right triangle 
, the hypotenuse 
, of length 
, is divided into 
equal parts ( and odd integer). Let 
be the acute angle subtending, from 
, that segment which contains the midpoint of the hypotenuse. Let 
be the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse of the triangle. Prove that:
