Question

In the accompanying diagram of rectangle ABCD, diagonal AC is drawn, DE = 8, DE 1 AC, and m2 DAC = 55. Find the area of rectangle ABCD to the nearest integer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

sin (55)  =  DE / AD

AD  =  DE / sin (55)

AD  =  8 / sin (55)

And  

tan (55) = DC / AD

tan (55)  = DC / [8 / sin (55) ]

DC  =  8 tan (55) / sin (55)    

AD * DC  =

[8 /sin (55) ]  [ 8 tan (55) / sin (55) ]   =    136 units^2
