The area of a rhombus is equal to the area of a triangle. If base of ∆ is 24 cm, its … the rhombus is 19.2 cm. Find its other…
Answers:
Area of a rhombus = Area of a triangle Base of triangle = 24 cm
and altitude = 16 cm
∴ Area = (1/2) base × altitude
= (1/2) × 24 × 16 = 192 cm2
∴ Area of rhombus = 192 cm2
One diagonal = 19.2 cm
∴ Second diagonal = (Area × 2)/one diagonal
= (192 × 2)/19.2 = (192 × 10 × 2)/192 = 20 cm
