Question

Draw a rhomus of Sides 6 centimetres and one angle 60°; then draw a right triangle of the same area

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many right triangles that have an area of 182–√cm2182cm2 . I just drew 1.

A rhombus is a special parallelogram, so I used the formula for the area of a parallelogram ( A=bhA=bh ). When the height of this rhombus is drawn a 30–60–90 right triangle is formed therefore the short leg and long leg (height) can be found.

The area of a triangle is A=12bhA=12bh since this is a right triangle the legs can be used as the base (b) and the height (h).
