Question

A parallelogram and a rhombus are equal in area. The diagonals of the rhombus measure 120 m and 44 m. If one of the sides of the parallelogram measures 66 m, find its corresponding altitutde.

Answer 1

Area Of Rhombus = $\frac{1}{2}\ast diagonal\ast diagonal$ = $\frac{1}{2}\ast 120\ast 44$= 2640 $c{m}^2$

Area Of Parallelogram = Base*Altitude.

66*Altitude = 2640

Altitude = 2640/66 = 1320/33 = 440/11 = 40cm
