| The AOB triangle is isosceles and the angle at the apex of the isosceles triangle is 60 degrees, hence the angles at the base OAB = OBA = 60 degrees. We draw the height OK, which is the median for an isosceles triangle, it divides the side AB in half, which means AK = 1 / 2AB = 1/2 * 27 = 13.5. In the OKA triangle, by definition, cosOAK = AK: OA, which means OA = AK: cosOAK = 13.5: cos60 = 13.5: 1/2 = 27. We have, the diagonal AC = 2OA = 2 * 27 = 54., Hence BD = AC = 54, the diagonals of the rectangle are equal.
