Solution

To find the area of rectangle KLMNKLMN, let's analyze the information given in the problem:

  1. KLM=60\angle KLM = 60^\circ.
  2. The length of diagonal KL=7cmKL = 7 \, \text{cm}.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Determine the Lengths of KNKN and LMLM:

    • Since KLMNKLMN is a rectangle, the diagonals KLKL and MNMN are equal and form right triangles with sides KNKN and LMLM.
    • In KLM\triangle KLM, we can use trigonometric ratios to find KNKN and LMLM.
  2. Using Trigonometry:

    • For KLM=60\angle KLM = 60^\circ:
      • KN=KLcos(60)=7×12=3.5cmKN = KL \cdot \cos(60^\circ) = 7 \times \frac{1}{2} = 3.5 \, \text{cm}.
      • LM=KLsin(60)=7×326.06cmLM = KL \cdot \sin(60^\circ) = 7 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 6.06 \, \text{cm}.
  3. Calculate the Area:

    • The area of the rectangle KLMNKLMN is given by Area=KN×LM\text{Area} = KN \times LM.
    • Substituting the values: Area=3.5×6.0621.21cm2\text{Area} = 3.5 \times 6.06 \approx 21.21 \, \text{cm}^2

Final Answer:

The area of rectangle KLMNKLMN is approximately 21.21cm221.21 \, \text{cm}^2.
