Question:

The perimeter of a rhombus is 148 cm, and one of its diagonals is 24 cm. The area (in cm2 ) of the rhombus is:

Options:

700

840

770

875

Correct Answer:

840

Explanation:

We know that,

Perimeter of Rhombus = 4 × side

Area of Rhombus = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × d1 × d2

where, d1 and d2 are diagonals of rhombus

Perimeter = 4 × side

= 148 = 4 × side

= side = 37 cm

In triangle  ΔAOB,

= AB2 = AO2 + OB2

= (37)2 = (12)2 + OB2

= 1369 = 144 + OB2

= OB2 = (1369 – 144)

= OB2 = 1225 cm2

= OB = 35 cm

BD = 2 × OB = 2 × 35  = 70 cm

Area of Rhombus = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 24 × 70 = 840 cm2
