Question

find the altitude of rhombus.
​

Answer 1

First of all Rhombus is a Parallelogram

Therefore area of Rhombus=area of parallelogram

Also area of rhombus is given 360 cm^2

Now as perimeter of rhombus is 48cm and we know that all sides of a rhombus are equal, therefore

measure of each side of the rhombus=48/4 =12cm

Now area of parallelogram= base*altitude

So let the altitude be x

Area of rhombus(parallelogram)= 12*x

360= 12x

360/12=x

30cm= x

or 30 cm is the altitude

Hope it helps

Answer 2

area of rombus = area of parallelogram
area of rombus= 360
perimeter=48
perimeter= 4× side
side = 48/4
side of rombus = 12
area of parallelogram= b × h
12 × h = 360
h = 360/12
h = 30
