The length of each side of a rhombus is equal to length of side of square whose diagonal is 20 \(\sqrt{2}\) cm. The length of its diagonals is in ratio 3 : 4, then area of their rhombus is? |
400 cm2 384 cm2 500 cm2 576 cm2 |
384 cm2 |
Diagonal of a square = \(\sqrt {2}\) × side 20\(\sqrt {2}\) = \(\sqrt {2}\) × side side = 20 cm. = side of the rhombus (given) Diagonal of rhombus = AC and BD ATQ, AC = 3a, BD = 4a In Δ AOB; ⇒AB2 = AO2 + BO2 ⇒ (20)2 = (\(\frac{3a}{2}\))2 + (\(\frac{4a}{2}\))2 ⇒ 400 × 4 = 9 a2 + 16a2 ⇒ a2 = (\(\frac{1600}{25}\)) ⇒ a = (\(\frac{40}{5}\)) ⇒ a = 8 Therefore, Diagonals are ⇒ AC = 3 × 8= 24, BD = 4 × 8 = 32 Area = (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) × AC × BD = (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) × 24 × 32 = 384 cm2 |
