Question

In cm, the lengths of the sides of a rectangle are 30 and 24. Find the nearest degree the measure of the angle formed by a diagnol and one of the longer sides

Answer 1

find the size of angle O to the nearest degree

Answer 2

38.42cm

Explanation:

Given that the length of the sides of a rectangle are 30 cm and 24 cm.

The length of the diagonal can be obtiaed using Pythagoras rule

Length of the diagonal = hypotenus

Hypotenus = sqrt(opposite ² + adjacent ²)

Opposite and adjacent sides are 30cm and 24 cm

Hypotenus = sqrt(30² + 24²)

Hypotenus = sqrt(900 + 576)

Hypotenus = sqrt(1476)

Hypotenus = 38.419

Length of diagonal = 38.42cm
