Question

Find the area of rhombus whose side is 5cm and altitude is 4.8 cm if one diagonal is 8cm lobg find the length of the other diagonal

Answer 1

solution:

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.

I hope it will help u

Answer 2

Since,a rhombus is also a kind of a parallelogram.

Formula of area of rhombus =Base×Altitude

Putting values, we have

Area of rhombus =5×4.8=24

Since, Area of rhombus is 24 cm².

Also,formula for area of rhombus =$\frac{1}{2}×d_1d_2$

Given,Length of one diagonal =$d_1$=8

Let length of other diagonal =$d_2$

After substituting the values, we get

$24=\frac{1}{2}×8×d_2$

$24=4×d_2$

$4×d_2=24$

$d_2=\frac{24}{4}$

$d_2=6$

Hence, length of other diagonal is 6 cm.
