Answer:
AC = 12.4
Theta = 75.96 degrees
Alpha = 14.04 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically, the angle at each edge of the rectangle is 90 degrees
So, we can see a right triangle ABC
Where AC is its hypotenuse
Mathematically, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
That will be;
3^2 + 12^2 = 9 + 144 = 153
AC = √153
AC = 12.4
We need to use the appropriate trigonometric ratio to get the value of alpha and theta
For theta;
Its opposite side is 3 while its adjacent is 12
The trigonometric ratio to use is the tan
so;
tan theta= 3/12
tan theta = 1/4
theta = tan^-1 0.25
theta = 14.04
Now for alpha, since we have a right triangle
theta will be 90-14.04
theta = 75.96
