Math Problem Statement

The shape below is a cuboid. Find the length of AG to 2 decimal places.

Solution

The problem involves finding the length of AGAG in a cuboid where the triangle formed by the lines AGAG, ABAB, and AEAE are right triangles. We are given the following details:

  • The length of AB=42mmAB = 42 \, \text{mm}
  • Angle EAB=27\angle EAB = 27^\circ
  • Angle AGH=36\angle AGH = 36^\circ

Steps to find the length of AGAG:

  1. Use trigonometry to break down the sides of the triangles:
    • For triangle ABEABE, we can use the sine or cosine of 2727^\circ to find the length of AEAE, which will help us use it later in the triangle involving AGAG.
    • We can also use the angle 3636^\circ to calculate the projection of the line AGAG using a similar approach.
