Find the area of a rhombus give that it's side measure 13 cm and one of diagonals measure 10 cm .
Answers
Answer:
130 square cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a rhombus is like a squashed square, so you can do 13*10=130
Answer:
Find the area of a rhombus in which its given that it's side measure 13 cm and one of diagonals measure 10 cm.
•measure of rhombus= 13cm
•measure of one diagonal of rhombus= 10cm
area of the rhombus
to find the area of the rhombus, first we need to find the measure of the other diagonal of the rhombus.
so,given
Side of rhombus= 13cm
length of diagonal AC = 10cm
⛬ OC = 5cm
Since,the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
So,△BOC is right-angled
Then, by Pythagorus Theorem we have,
⠀ BC²= OC²+OB²
➔ 13² = 5² + OB²
➔OB² = 169 - 25 = 144
➔OB = √144 = 12
hence, diagonal BD = 2×OB = 2×12= 24
so,the measure of the second diagonal of the rhombus is 24
