The diagonal creates a right angled triangle with one pair of long and short sides - the diagonal is the hypotenuse.

We know the angle between the long side (adjacent) and hypotenuse as 42.6°;

We want to find the length of the short (width) side (opposite).

We can use the Tan ratio:

tan = opposite/adjacent

→ opposite = adjacent × tan

→ width = 26.63 in × tan 42.6° = 24.487... in

→ width is 24.5 inches to the nearest tenth of an inch.
