ALPHA = a/b ALPHA A ALPHA B . Press ENTER
to view the variable list, and enter 8.6 for A and 16 for B. (The value of
θ
will be
listed as the one that was used in the previously entered equation.) Position the

θ
and press 2ndF EXE to find
θ
.
To determine the length of the diagonal of the rectangle, return to the equation
by pressing CL CL and edit the current equation to read sin
θ
= .
The value of
θ
should be as before, so enter 8.6 for A and solve for C.
