In a rectangle, if the angle between a diagonal and a side is 30° and the length of diagonal is 6 cm, the area of the rectangle is :
-
- (a) 9 cm2
- 9 √3 cm2
- 27 cm2
- 36 cm2
Correct Option: B
As per given figure , we can see that
Let, ABCD be the rectangle in which ∠BAC = 30° and AC = 6 cm.
In triangle BAC , we have
AB | = | cos30° | = | √3 | ⇒ | AB = 3 √3 cm. |
AC | 2 |
BC | = | sin30° | = | 1 | ⇒ | BC = 3 cm. |
AC | 2 |
∴ Area of the rectangle = Length x Breadth = AB X BC = 9 √3 cm2
