the length of the diagonals of a rhombus are 24 cm and 18cm respectively find the length of the each of the Rhombus
Answers
Your question needs a correction.
Correct question : find the length of the each side of the rhombus.
Solution :-
We know that the diagonals of rhombus bisects each other at 90°.
By Pythagoras Theorem,
⇒ ( 1 / 2 x 1st Diagonal )^2 + ( 1 / 2 x 2nd diagonal )^2 = side^2
⇒ ( 1 / 2 x 24 cm )^2 + ( 1 / 2 x 18 cm ) = side^2
⇒ ( 12 cm )^2 + ( 9 cm )^2 = side^2
⇒ 144 cm^2 + 81 cm^2 = side^2
⇒ 255 cm^2 = side^2
⇒ ( 15 cm )^2 = side^2
⇒ 15 cm = side
Therefore the length of each side of the rhombus is 15 cm.
Here is your solution
Given :-
The length of the diagonals of rhombus are 24 cm and 18 cm.
To find length of rhombus:-
We know that
The diagonals of rhombus bisects each other at 90°.
Now using Pythagoras Theorem:-
=>(1/2 x 1st Diagonal)^2 + (1/2x2nd diagonal )^2 = side^2
=>( 1/2 x 24 cm )^2 + ( 1 / x 18 cm ) = side^2
=>( 12 cm )^2 + ( 9 cm )^2 = side^2
=>144 cm^2 + 81 cm^2 = side^2
=>255 cm^2 = side^2
=>( 15 cm )^2 = side^2
=>15 cm = side
Hence
The length of each side of the rhombus is 15 cm.
