Question

Manisha has a garden in the shape of a rhombus. The perimeter of the garden is 40 m and one of its diagonal is 16 m. She wants to divide it into two equal parts and use these equal parts for growing vegetables and wheat separately. Find the area of each part of the garden.

Answer 1

As it is a Rhombus, it will have 4 equal sides. So by dividing 40m by 4 we get 10m. Each side is hence 10m. To find its area we multiply it side x side = 10m x 10m to get 100 Sq. m
Divide 100 by 2 to get 50 Sq.m and that's your answer. (hope I am right)
