A rectangular tile has a thin diagonal line drawn in its design. The longer dimension of the tile is 12 inches. The angle formed by the diagonal and the shorter side of the tile is 72°.
What is the perimeter of the tile?
Enter your answer, rounded to the nearest inch, in the box.
Tan 72 = opp/adj = 12/adj (adj is the shorter side)
12/tan 72 = adj = 3.899 in
Perimeter = 2 L + 2 W = 2(12) + 2(3.899) = ~32 inches
Tan 72 = opp/adj = 12/adj (adj is the shorter side)
12/tan 72 = adj = 3.899 in
Perimeter = 2 L + 2 W = 2(12) + 2(3.899) = ~32 inches
