ABCD a rectangle ABCD and join AC
Now, in triangle ACD, AC = 15 cm
Angle ACD = theta
and tan theta = 3/4
Now, tan theta = tan (ACD) = AD/CD
So, AD = 3x and CD = 4x
Now, in triangle ACD
AC² = AD² = CD²
==>AC² = (3x)² + (4x)² = 9x² + 16² = 25x²
==>AC² = 25x²
==>AC = 5x
Also AC = 15cm
So, AC = 5x = 15cm
==>5x = 15
==>x = 3cm
Now AD = 3x = 3×3 = 9cm
DC = 4x = 4×3 = 12cm
• Area of Rectangle = length × breadth = AD × DC = 9×12 = 108cm²
