Answer:
Formula to find area of rhombus=>
=>(diagonal1×diaogonal2)/2
=>(18×24)/2
Area=216cm²
_____________________________
Perimeter=4×side
_____________________________
(Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other, thus giving us four right triangles and splitting each diagonal in half,so we can find the side by applying Pythagoras therom)
_____________________________
So it is now divided into 4 triangles.
Now to find its side,take any one triangle and apply Pythagoras therom.
Lets take the triangle BOC
Applying Pythagoras therom:-
H²=P²+B²
(OC)²=(BC)²+(OB)²
(9cm)²=(BC)²+(12cm)²
81cm=(BC)²+144cm
(BC)²=(144+81)cm
BC=√225cm
BC=15cm
So we got the side of rhombus=15cm
Perimeter of Rhombus=4×side
=4×15cm
=60cm ans....
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope that it would be helpful....
