the diagonal of romhous are 48cm , 20cm.
find...
i) Area of romhous.
ii) perimeter of romhous
Answers
Area of the Rhombus = 1/2 X d1 X d2 ( d1 and d2 are the two diagonals of the Rhombus)
so ,
i) Diagonal 1 = 48 cm
Diagonal 2 = 20 cm
Area of the Rhombus = 1/2 X 48 X 20
= 960/2
= 480 cm^2
so the area of the Rhombus = 480 cm^2
ii) Here to find the perimeter we need to know the measurement of atleast 1 side
(Diagram of the Rhombus is in the attachment)
so let's consider ∆AOB
In ∆AOB
side AO = 1/2 of side AC.
AO = 1/2 X 48
= 24 cm
side BO = 1/2 of side BD
BO = 1/2 X 20
= 10 cm
Now we have to find the measurement of side AB
so,
By Pythagorean theorem
AO^2 + BO^2 = AB^2
(24)^2 + (10)^2 = AB^2
576+100 = AB^2
676 = AB^2
AB^2 = 676
AB = ✓676
AB = 26 cm
so ,
The side of the Rhombus = 26 cm.
Now,
perimeter of the Rhombus = 4 X side
= 4 X 26
= 104 cm
Therefore,
Perimeter of the Rhombus = 104 cm.
Note :
diagonal 1 = AC
diagonal 2 = BD
