Problema Solution

Rhombus has an are of 500m^2 and an angle of an 40 degrees find the Rhombus.Using law of sin cos.

Answer provided by our tutors

We assume that we need to find the length of the side of the rhombus.

Let

a = the length of the side of the rhombus, a>0

<a = 40 degrees is any interior angle

A = 500 m^2 is the area of the rhombus

Since the area of the rhombus can be calculated by using the formula:

A = a^2 sin <a 

we plug the values into the last equation:

a^2 sin(40) = 500

........

a = 27.89 m

We need to ignore the negative solution -27.89, since the length can only be positive.

The length of the rhombus's side is 27.89 meters.
