ABCD is a rhombus with A = 60° , BC = (3x+5)cm , CD =(6x-10)cm and AC =(3y-1)cm. Find
x and y.

Solution :-
Fig(i) from image :-
→ BC = CD .(All sides of rhombus are equal in length.)
So,
→ 3x + 5 = 6x - 10
→ 6x - 3x = 5 + 10
→ 3x = 15
dividing both sides by 5,
→ x = 5. (Ans.)
Than ,
Each side of rhombus = 3x + 5 = 3*5 + 5 = 20cm.
Now, in ∆DAB,
→ ∠DAB = 60° (given) .
→ DA = AB. (sides of rhombus are equal.)
So,
→ ∠ABD = ∠ADB = 60° . (Angle opp. to equal sides are also equal.)
therefore,
→ Diagonal BD is equal to sides of rhombus .(All angles 60° that means ∆DAB is an equilateral ∆.}
hence,
→ ∆BCD is also an equilateral ∆.
∴
→ ∠ADC = 60° + 60° = 120° .
Taking fig(2) from image now :-
in ∆ADC we have,
→ AD = DC = 20cm.
→ ∠ADC = 120° .
we know that, by cosine rule,
- AC² = AD² + DC² - 2 * AD * DC * cos(∠ADC)
Putting all values we get,
→ AC² = (20)² + (20)² - 2 * 20 * 20 * cos(120°)
→ AC² = 400 + 400 - 800 * (-1/2)
→ AC² = 800 + 400
→ AC² = 1200
→ AC² = (400 * 3)
→ AC = 20√3 cm.
Therefore,
→ 3y - 1 = 20√3
→ 3y = (20√3 + 1)
→ y = (20√3 + 1)/3 (Ans.)
