The diagonals of a rhombus are in the ratio 3:4.If the longer diagonal is 12cm,then find the area of rhombus
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
let the sides of rhombus are 3x and 4x
ATQ
4x=12
x=3 cm
than smaller side= 3x=3*3=9 cm
area of rhombus is 1/2( 9*12)
=108/2
=54cm square
GIVEN :-
★ Diagonals of a rhombus are in the ratio 3:4 .
★ Longer diagonal is 12 cm.
TO FIND :-
★ The area of the rhombus.
SOLUTION :-
Let the ratio constant be "x".
Therefore , the diagonals of the rhombus are given by,
⇒d₁ = 3x.
⇒d₂ = 4x.
Here the longer diagonal is d₂ = 4x.
Therefore,
⇒Longer diagonal = 12 cm.
⇒4x = 12
⇒x = 12/4
⇒x = 3 cm.
Here , we fot the value of x = 3 cm . Now , substitute the value of x in both the diagonals.
⇒d₁ = 3x.
⇒d₁ = 3 × 3
⇒d₁ = 9 cm. [smaller diagonal]
Similarly,
⇒d₂ = 4x.
⇒d₂ = 4 × 3
⇒d₂ = 12 cm. [longer diagonal]
Now as we know that the area of rhombus is given by,
⇒Area = 1/2 × (d₁ × d₂)
⇒Area = 1/2 × (9 × 12)
⇒Area = 9 × 6
⇒Area = 54 cm².
Hence the required area of rhombus is 54 cm².
