Answer»

Answer:

19.47º


Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

Define x:

Let the breadth be x


The diagonal of a rectangle is THREE TIMES the length of the shorter SIDE:

The diagonal = 3x


Find the angle between the diagonal and the LONGER side.

sin θ = opp/hyp

sin θ = x/3x

sin θ = 1/3

θ = sin⁻¹ (1/3)

θ = 19.47º


Answer: The angle between the diagonal and the longer side is 19.47º
