Find the angle $ \beta $ of a rhombus if side $a = 57$ and height $h = 39$.

$\beta = 46.8264^o$

STEP 1: find angle $ \alpha $

To find angle $ \alpha $ use formula:

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

After substituting $ h = 39 $ and $ a = 57 $ we have:

$$ \sin \left( \alpha \right) = \dfrac{ 39 }{ 57 } $$ $$ \sin \left( \alpha \right) = \frac{ 13 }{ 19 } $$ $$ \alpha = \arcsin\left( \frac{ 13 }{ 19 } \right) $$ $$ \alpha = 43.1736^o $$

STEP 2: find angle $ \beta $

To find angle $ \beta $ use formula:

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

After substituting $ \alpha = 43.1736^o $ we have:

$$ 43.1736^o + \beta = 90^o $$ $$ \beta = 90^o - 43.1736^o $$ $$ \beta = 46.8264^o $$
