Question

Find the altitude of a rhombus with perimeter $48cm$ and area $360c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The Perimeter of rhombus is $48cm$

Therefore side $\times$ 4 (as their 4 sides of equal length) = $48cm$

side = $48/4=12cm.$

Hence the base for the area of the rhombus $12cm$

Area of rhombus = $360c{m}^2$

$b\times h$ $=360c{m}^2$

$12\times h=360c{m}^2$

$h=360/12=30cm$

Hence the altitude of rhombus is $30cm$

verify :- Area of rhombus $=b\times h=12\times 30=360c{m}^2$
