Given:

The figure of rectangle.

To find:

a. The diagonal of the rectangle.

b. The area of the rectangle.

c. perimeter of the rectangle.

Solution:

(a)

In a right angle triangle,


\sin \theta=(Perpendicular)/(Hypotenuse)


\sin 30=(12)/(Hypotenuse)


(1)/(2)=(12)/(Hypotenuse)


Hypotenuse=12* 2


Hypotenuse=24

So, the diagonal of the of the rectangle is 24 units.

(b)

In a right angle triangle,


\tan \theta=(Perpendicular)/(Base)


\tan 30=(12)/(Base)


(1)/(√(3))=(12)/(Base)


Base=12√(3)

Length of the rectangle is 12 and width of the rectangle is
12√(3). So, the area of the rectangle is:


Area=length * width


Area=12 * 12√(3)


Area=144√(3)

So, the area of the rectangle is
144√(3) sq. units.

(c)

Perimeter of the rectangle is:


P=2(length+width)


P=2(12+12√(3))


P=24+24√(3)


P\approx 65.57

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is about 65.57 units.
