Question

The area of rhombus is $42{\text{m}}^2$, if its perimeter is $24$ m, find its altitude.

Answer 1

Given that,

Perimeter $=24$

One side $=24/4=6$

$\therefore$ Area of rhombus$=42$

$b\times h=42$

$\Rightarrow 6\times h=42$

$\Rightarrow h=42/6$

$\Rightarrow h=7cm$

$\therefore$ Altitude $=h=7cm$.
