Question

The area of a rhombus is 64 sqmt, ,its perimeter is 32mt, find the altitude

Answer 1

perimeter=sum of all sides
32mt=4s
s=32/4
s=8m
a rhombus is a modified parallelogram
therefore,area=bXh
64sqmt=8mXh
h=64/8
=8mt
therefore the altitude is 8 mt

Answer 2

Perimeter: 32m ⇒side=32/4=8m Rhombus is a parallelogram having all sides equal, so area of parallelogram:baseXaltitude 64m²=8mXaltitude ⇒altitude=64/8=8m
