Question 1011970: A diagonal of a rectangle determines a 30 degree angle with a longer side of the rectangle. If the sum of the lengths of the diagonals is 14 in., how long is a short side of the rectangle? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A diagonal of a rectangle determines a 30 degree angle with a longer side of the rectangle.
If the sum of the lengths of the diagonals is 14 in., how long is a short side of the rectangle?
:
That means one diagonal = 7
The short side (s) will be equal to the sine of 30 degrees
sin(30) =
s = 7*.5
s = 3.5 in is the short side of the rectangle
