Question

Louie is trying to find a rectangular canvas for his art project. Its height

Answer 1

The length of the diagonal of the canvas is approximately 27 degrees.

The height of the rectangular canvas must reach 18 inches. It must form a 48 degrees angle with the diagonal at the top of the canvas.

Length of the diagonal Canvas

Therefore, the length of the diagonal can be found as follows:

Using trigonometric ratio,

• cos ∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

where

∅ = 48°

adjacent side = Height of the rectangle = 18 inches

hypotenuse = Length of the diagonal

Therefore,

cos 48° = 18 / h

cross multiply

h = 18 / cos 48°

h = 18 / 0.66913060635

h = 26.9005778976

length of the diagonal ≈ 27 inches
