A rhombus

A rhombus has sides of length 10 cm, and the angle between two adjacent sides is 76 degrees. Find the length of the longer diagonal of the rhombus.

Result

d1 =  15.76 cm

Solution:

$a = 10 \ cm \ \\ A = 76 \ ^\circ \ \\ A_{ 2 } = (A \rightarrow rad) = (A \cdot \ \dfrac{ \pi }{ 180 } \ ) = 1.32645023152 \ \\ \ \\ \cos A_{ 2 }/2 = \dfrac{ d_{ 1 }/2 }{ a } \ \\ \ \\ d_{ 1 } = 2 \cdot \ a \cdot \ \cos(A_{ 2 }/2) = 2 \cdot \ 10 \cdot \ \cos(1.3265/2) \doteq 15.7602 = 15.76 \ \text { cm }$
