Answer:
- 16/√65 cm is the required altitude of Rhombus
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Question
It is given that,
- Length of a side of square field is 4m.
- Area of Rhombus = Area of Square
- Diagonal ,d = 2m
We have to find the length of altitude of the rhombus.
Since it is given Area of Square is equal to Area of Rhombus .
- Area of Square = Area of Rhombus
On substituting the value we get
↠ 4 × 4 = ½ × 2 × d'
↠ 16 = d'
Length of another diagonal of Rhombus is 16cm .
Now, calculating the side of Rhombus
- Side of Rhombus = ½ √d²+d'²
On substituting the value we get
↠ Side of Rhombus = ½ √2²+16²
↠ Side of Rhombus = ½ √4+256
↠ Side of Rhombus = ½ √260
↠ Side of Rhombus = ½ × 2√65
↠ Side of Rhombus = √65 cm
Also,Area of Rhombus is calculated by
- Area of Rhombus = Side × Altitude
On substituting the value we get
↠ 16 = √65 × Altitude
↠ 16/√65 = Altitude
↠ Altitude = 16/√65 cm
- Hence, the altitude of rhombus is 16/√65
♦ Concept
Your question is based on the concept of Area and Perimeter firstly let's understand your question so in your question it is given that The length of a side of a square field is 4 m. and now they are asking us to find out the altitude of the rhombus , if the area of the rhombus is equal to the square field and one of its diagonal is 2 m
let's proceed calculation!!
♦ Formula Used
♦ Solution
We know that Area of Rhombus = side × attitude
