STEP 1: find angle $ \alpha $

To find angle $ \alpha $ use formula:

$$ \sin \left( \alpha \right) = \dfrac{ h }{ a } $$

After substituting $h = 13.71\, \text{cm}$ and $a = 14.59\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ \sin \left( \alpha \right) = \dfrac{ 13.71\, \text{cm} }{ 14.59\, \text{cm} } $$ $$ \sin \left( \alpha \right) = 0.9397 $$ $$ \alpha = \arcsin\left( 0.9397 \right) $$ $$ \alpha = 69.9987^o $$

STEP 2: find diagonal $ d1 $

To find diagonal $ d1 $ use formula:

$$ \sin \left( \frac{ \alpha }{ 2 } \right) = \dfrac{ h }{ d_1 } $$

After substituting $\alpha = 69.9987^o$ and $h = 13.71\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ \sin \left( \frac{ 69.9987^o }{ 2 } \right) = \dfrac{ h }{ d_1 } $$ $$ \sin( 34.9993 ) = \dfrac{ 13.71\, \text{cm} }{ d_1 } $$ $$ 0.5736 = \dfrac{ 13.71\, \text{cm} }{ d_1 } $$ $$ d_1 = \dfrac{ 13.71\, \text{cm} }{ 0.5736 } $$ $$ d_1 = 23.9031\, \text{cm} $$
