Find the arrea of a rhimbus having each side equal to13cm and one of whose diaginals is 24 cm?
Answers
Answer:Area of the Rhombus is 120 centimeter square.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Each side of rhombus is 13 cm and one diagonal is 24 cm.
To find : The area of the Rhombus?
Solution :
One side rhombus = 13 cm
Length of one diagonal = 24 cm
Property of rhombus,
Diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at 90 degree.
Now, Taking 1/4 portion of rhombus i.e, triangle.
Base = 12 cm (half of diagonal)
Hypotenuse = 13 cm
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
{h}^{2}={b}^{2}+{p}^{2}\\{13}^{2}={12}^{2}+{p}^{2}\\169=144+{p}^{2}\\{p}^{2}=169-144\\p=\sqrt{25}\\p=5
So, The other diagonal of Rhombus is 5 cm.
Area of rhombus is
A=\frac{1}{2}\times (\text{product of diagonal})\\A=\frac{1}{2}\times (24\times 5)\\A=120cm^2
Therefore, Area of the Rhombus is 120 centimeter square.
