Answer to Problem 53STP
Length of Side AB = 41.6 feet.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
ABCD is a Rectangle, length of Diagonals = 56 ft.
Figure:
The Diagonals of the Rectangle are congruent, thus Length of the diagonal AC = 56 ft, where
Using the Cosine Rule for Right
In this case,
Where,
AB = Base / Adjacent Side of
AC = Hypotenuse (Side opposite to Right Angle)
Thus,
