Question

1.   The shorter side of a rectangle is 92 cm and the angle made by the diagonal and the shorter side is 60.71⁰. Find the length of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Draw the diagram: You can tell that the long side is opposite the angle and the short side is adjacent to the angle

Therefore, (long side)/(short side) = tan(angle)
