Question

base and height. 8. The area of a rhombus is 119 cm2 and its perimeter is 56 cm. Find its altitude. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

8.5cm is the altitude of the rhombus.

Step by step explanation:

Given that

Area of rhombus = 119 cm^{2}cm

2

The Perimeter of the rhombus = 56cm

Let the side of the rhombus be s;

4s = 56cm

s = 56/4

Thus, side = 14cm

As we know,

Area of rhombus = side * height

119 = 14cm * height

Height/altitude of the rhombus = 119/14

= 8.5 cm
