Problema Solution
The diagonal of a rectangle is 348 millimeters, while the longer side is 278 millimeters. Find the shorter side of the rectangle and the angles the diagonal makes with the sides.
Answer provided by our tutors
shortest side = √(348^2 -278^2) = √43820 = 209.33mm
angle made by longer side with diagonal tan Φ = 209.33/278 = 0.753
Φ = 37
angle made by smaller side with diagonal = 90-37 = 53
