Question 268966: what is the area of a rectangle if the diagnal is 8in and measures 30 degrees

The side opposite the 30 degree angle is 1/2 of the hypotenuse or 4. The side opposite the 60 degree angle is the side opposite the 30 x sqrt(3) , or in our case 4sqrt(3).
Area = length x width = 4 x 4sqrt(3) = 16sqrt(3)
