Question

The sides of a rhombus are 5 cm each and one diagonal is 8 cm.Calculate the length of the other
diagonal and the area of the rhombus.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

SIDE OF A RHOMBUS=5CM

ONE DIAGONAL=8CM

HALF OF DIAGONAL =8/2=4CM

IN A RHOMBUS THE DIAGONALS BISECT EACH OTHER AT 90 DEGREES

H²=S²+S²

5²=4²+S²

5²-4²=S²

S²=25-16

S²=9

S=√9

S=3CM

OTHER DIAGONAL=2×3=6CM

AREA OF RHOMBUS =1/2D1D2

=1/2×8×6

=24CM²
