Problem

A convex quadrilateral has area $30$ and side lengths $5, 6, 9,$ and $7,$ in that order. Denote by $\theta$ the measure of the acute angle formed by the diagonals of the quadrilateral. Then $\tan \theta$ can be written in the form $\tfrac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$ .

Solution

We can't have a solution without a problem.

-Since we are asked to find <math>\tan \theta</math>, we can find <math>\sin \theta</math> and <math>\cos \theta</math> separately and then use those values to find <math>\tan \theta</math>. Let us first draw a diagram of this quadrilateral.
