The diagonal of the rectangle is 34 inches. the side is 16 inches and the base is 30 inches. what is the ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle?

17: 15

17: 8

34: 16

34: 30

The ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle is 17 : 8

Solution:

Let a Rectangle ABCD with diagonal AC = 34 inches and the Side be BC = 16 inches and the Length of the Base be AB = 30 inches

We are required to find the ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle i.e.  Diagonal AC and Side BC

Now, Ratio = Length of Diagonal AC : Length of Side BC

Ratio = 34 inches : 16 inches

Ratio = 17: 8

So, the ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle is 17 : 8

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq

answer: sine
