In a given rectangle the length of is two times bigger than the length of . On the side a point is chosen such that the angle is equal to the angle .
a) Determine the measure of the angle .
b) If , determine the area of the rectangle ?
and are parallel so we get that . Because we conclude that . So we obtain that the triangle is isosceles and .
In the right-angled triangle is a hypotenuse and two times bigger than (, ). From that we obtain that so . Hence .
Let , . From the condition we get i.e. .
Now we get that .
Or from where we obtain that .
The area of the rectangle is .
