Question:

The area of a rhombus is 300 cm2. If the length of one of the diagonals of the rhombus is 30 cm, then what is the length (in cm) of the second diagonal?

Options:

25

10

20

30

Correct Answer:

20

Explanation:

We know that,

The area of a rhombus = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (diagonal)1 × (diagonal)2

We have,

The area of rhombus = 300 cm2

The length of one of the diagonals of the rhombus = 30 cm 

So,

= 300 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 30 × (diagonal)2

= (Diagonal)2 = \(\frac{300}{12}\) = 20 cm
