Question

The area of a rhombus is 220 $c{m}^2$ and its perimeter is 44 cm. Find its altitude.

Answer 1

Area of rhombus$=220c{m}^2$

Perimeter of the rhombus $=44cm$

now$,$

measure of each side of the rhombus$\frac{44}{4}cm=11cm$

Now$,$

Rhombus is also a parallelogram$.$

So$,$ area of rhombus $=base\times height$

$\Rightarrow 220=11\times height$

$\Rightarrow height=\frac{220}{11}$

$\Rightarrow height=20cm.$
