Question

Area of rhombus is 60 cm2 and one of its diagonal is 8cm. find other diagonals

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the other diagonal is 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the area of a rhombus is:

$Area=\frac{pq}{2}$

Here,

p and q = lengths of the two diagonals

Given:

Area = 60 cm²

Let p = 8 cm

Compute the value of q as follows:

$Area=\frac{pq}{2}\\60=\frac{8\times q}{2}\\60\times 2=8q\\120=8q\\q=15$

Thus, the length of the other diagonal is 15 cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

Other diagonal = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rhombus = 1/2 × diagonal 1 × diagonal 2

60 cm2 = 1/2 × 8 × diagonal 2

Diagonal 2 = 15
