Question

The diagonals of a rectangle enclose an angle of measure 78 degree

Answer 1

The area of the rectangle with a perimeter of 36 cm is determined as: 80.1  cm².

What is the Area of a Rectangle?

Area of a rectangle = (length)(width).

Given the following:

Angle of measure 78 degree enclosed by the diagonals of the rectangle

Perimeter = 36 cm

To find the area, we need to find the length and width of the rectangle using the trigonometric ratios.

A side of the rectangle = x cm

The other side = (36 - 2x)/2  = (18 - x) cm

Angle of the diagonal base = (180 - 78)/2 = 51°

Apply the tangent ratio to find x:

Tangent ratio is tan ∅ = opposite/adjacent side of a right triangle. We have the following,

∅ = 51°

Opposite side = x cm

Adjacent side = (18 - x) cm

Tan 51°  =  x/(18 - x)

1.235 = x/(18 - x)

1.235(18 - x) = x

22.23 - 1.235x = x

22.23 = x + 1.235x

22.23 = 2.235x

22.23/2.235 = 2.235x/2.235

x = 9.946 cm (one side length)

The other side length = 18 - x = 18 - 9.946 = 8.054 cm

Area of the rectangle = (9.946)(8.054)

Area of the rectangle = 80.1  cm²
