Find the area $ A $ of a rhombus if side $a = 2$ and angle $\beta = 58^o$.

$A = 2.1197$

STEP 1: find angle $ \alpha $

To find angle $ \alpha $ use formula:

$$ \alpha + \beta = 90^o $$

After substituting $ \beta = 58^o $ we have:

$$ \alpha + 58^o = 90^o $$ $$ \alpha = 90^o - 58^o $$ $$ \alpha = 32^o $$

STEP 2: find area $ A $

To find area $ A $ use formula:

$$ A = \dfrac{ a \cdot a \cdot \sin( \alpha ) }{ 1 } $$

After substituting $ a = 2 $ , $ a = 2 $ and $ \alpha = 32^o $ we have:

$$ A = \dfrac{ 2 \cdot 2 \cdot \sin( 32^o ) }{ 1 } $$ $$ A = \dfrac{ 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 0.5299 }{ 1 } $$ $$ A = \dfrac{ 4 \cdot 0.5299 }{ 1 } $$ $$ A = \dfrac{ 2.1197 }{ 1 } $$ $$ A \approx 2.1197 $$
