Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Triangle POQ is a right angled triangle at O.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

we have

(PO)^2 + (OQ)^2 = (PQ)^2

(8)^2 + (OQ)^2 = (17)^2

(OQ)^2 = 225

OQ = 15 cm

Therefore,

QS = 30 cm

Now,

Area of rhombus PQRS

= (1/2) × (QS) × (PR)

= (1/2) × 30 × 16

= 240 sq cm
