A parallelogram has sides 20cm and 30cm with an angle of 80 between the two sides. What is the length of each of the diagonals?
1 answer:
Answer:
length of diagonals are BD = 33.039 cm and AC = 38.84 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
given,
sides of parallelogram is 20 cm and 30 cm
Angle between them is 80°. opposite angle of parallelogram are same the opposite angle is same.
other angle = 360° - 80° - 80° + 2 x = 200
x = 100°
Using cosine law
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos γ
In ΔDAB
BD² = 30² + 20 ² - 2 × 30 × 20 cos 80°
BD = 33.039 cm
now in ΔADC
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos γ
AC² = 20² + 30² - 2 × 30 × 20 cos 100°
AC = 38.84 cm
length of diagonals are BD = 33.039 cm and AC = 38.84 cm
