Find the diagonal $ d_2 $ of a rhombus if side $a = \frac{ 1459 }{ 100 }$ and height $h = \frac{ 1371 }{ 100 }$.

$d_2 = 78.9476$

STEP 1: find angle $ \alpha $

To find angle $ \alpha $ use formula:

$$ \sin \left( \alpha \right) = \dfrac{ h }{ a } $$

After substituting $ h = \frac{ 1371 }{ 100 } $ and $ a = \frac{ 1459 }{ 100 } $ we have:

$$ \sin \left( \alpha \right) = \dfrac{ \frac{ 1371 }{ 100 } }{ \frac{ 1459 }{ 100 } } $$ $$ \sin \left( \alpha \right) = \frac{ 1371 }{ 1459 } $$ $$ \alpha = \arcsin\left( \frac{ 1371 }{ 1459 } \right) $$ $$ \alpha = 69.9987^o $$

STEP 2: find angle $ \beta $

To find angle $ \beta $ use formula:

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

After substituting $ \alpha = 69.9987^o $ we have:

$$ 69.9987^o + \beta = 90^o $$ $$ \beta = 90^o - 69.9987^o $$ $$ \beta = 20.0013^o $$

STEP 3: find diagonal $ d2 $

To find diagonal $ d2 $ use formula:

$$ \sin \left( \frac{ \beta }{ 2 } \right) = \dfrac{ h }{ d_2 } $$

After substituting $ \beta = 10.0007 $ and $ h = \frac{ 1371 }{ 100 } $ we have:

$$ \sin \left( \frac{ 20.0013^o }{ 2 } \right) = \dfrac{ h }{ } $$ $$ \sin( 10.0007 ) = \dfrac{ \frac{ 1371 }{ 100 } }{ d_2 } $$ $$ 0.1737 = \dfrac{ \frac{ 1371 }{ 100 } }{ d_2 } $$ $$ d_2 = \dfrac{ \frac{ 1371 }{ 100 } }{ 0.1737 } $$ $$ d_2 = 78.9476 $$
