Draw a diagram so we can help you, I want to know if you are having a problem understanding the question or doing it.

Sorry it took a while
Am i going the correct way
Also to make this even more confusing the answer is 11sqrt253

That angle isn't necessarily alpha.
eager escarp
It's a bisector, just used it as a way to show they are equally divided
last junco
...I mean the third angle you have marked as alpha.
eager escarp
Oh

Also, you don't know what the diagonal sides are.
