Question

If the length of the side of a square is 5 m and it is converted into a rhombus whose major diagonal has length 8 m, then, find the length of the other diagonal and also find the area of the rhombus.

Answer 1

Side of square =s=5m
Area = s×s=5×5=25m^2
Diagonal of rambhous =d1=8
Now,
Ar of rambhous =ar of square
1/2 d1×d2=25
1/2 8×d2=25
d2=25×2/8
d2=6.25m
