The diagonal of a rectangle is of length a It splits each co
The diagonal of a rectangle is of length a. It splits each corner forming two angles with a ratio of 1:2. The area of the rectangle is: Select one: O a. 1/2 a 2 b. 1/4 a42 c. 2a 2
Solution
when the diagonal cuts the rectangle
triangle formed has ratio of 30 : 60 : 90
so , sides have the ratio
1 : sqrt 3 : 2
therefore, area = a/2 * asqrt 3 /2
area = a^2 sqrt 3 / 4
option e is correct
