Question

construct a rhombus of side 5 cm and one of its diagonals is equals to 8 centimetre

Answer 1

Answer:Area of the rhombus = Side × Length of the altitude 

= 5*4.8

= 24 sq cm 

Now,

Let the length of the other diagonal = x

It is known that the area of a rhombus is half the product of its diagonals. 

∴ (1/2) × 8 × x = 24

⇒ 4x = 24

⇒ x = 6 cm

The length of the other diagonal is 6 cm
