2. Sum of the squares of adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 130 54
ent sides of a parallelogram is 130 sq.cm and length
of one of its diagonals is 14 cm. Find the length of the other diagonal
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides of a parallelogram are PS, SR, QR, PQ & diagonals be PR & QS.
Given : Sum of the squares of adjacent sides of a parallelogram (PS² + SR²)& (QR² + PQ²) = 130 cm & length of one of its diagonals (PS) = 14 cm.
(PS² + SR²)+ (QR² + PQ²) = PR² + QS²
[the sum of the squares of the diagonals of a parallelogram is equal to the sum of the squares of its sides.]
130 +130 = 14² + QS²
260 = 196 + QS²
260 - 196 = QS²
64 = QS²
QS =√64 = 8 cm
QS = 8 cm
Hence, the length of the other diagonal is 8 cm.
