Question

adjacent side of a parallelogram are 11 cm and 17 cm if the length of 1 of its diagonal is 26 cm find the length of the other

Answer 1

Use the diagram attached:

DB = 26 cm

So, DO = 13 cm

DO = OB = 13 cm

 

Using Apollonius Theorem

AD²+ AB² = 2AO² + 2DO²

11² + 17² = 2AO² + 2(13)²

121 + 209 = 2AO² + 2(169)

410 = 2AO² + 338

2AO² = 410 – 338

2OA² = 72

OA²= 36

OA  = 6

AC = 2OA = 2X6 = 12

∴The length of the other diagonal = 12 cm.
