rectangle

 From symmetry θ = 37°/2 = 18.5°

 

w=8×tan360(18.5)w=2.676762556016

We are not shown what other angles are needed, but the obvious ones are 90°- θ and 180°-37°

 

The alternative orientation is:

 Another rectangle

Here again θ = 18.5° but this time we have

L=8tan360(18.5)L=23.9094797019483742
