Answer:
Length of diagonal = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Diagonal of a rectangle makes an angle of [tex]30^\circ[/tex] with the longer side.
Kindly refer to the attached diagram of the rectangle ABCD such that diagonal BD makes angles of [tex]30^\circ[/tex] with the longer side CD and BA.
[tex]\angle CDB =\angle DBA =30^\circ[/tex]
Side AD = BC = 3 units
To find:
Length of diagonal BD = ?
Solution:
We can use the trigonometric ratio to find the diagonal in the [tex]\triangle BCD[/tex] because [tex]\angle C =90^\circ[/tex]
Using the sine :
[tex]sin\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular }{Hypotenuse }[/tex]
[tex]sin\angle CDB = \dfrac{BC}{BD}\\\Rightarrow sin30^\circ = \dfrac{3}{BD}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}2 = \dfrac{3}{BD}\\\Rightarrow BD =2 \times 3 \\\Rightarrow BD = \bold{6 }[/tex]
So, the answer is:
Length of diagonal = 6
