Question

The figure obtained by joining the mid – point of the adjacent sides of a rectangle of sides 8 cm and 6 cm.

• A. a rhombus of area
• B. a rectangle of area
• C. a square of area
• D. a trapezium of area

Answer 1

The correct option is A a rhombus of area

When we joined the mid – point of the adjacent sides of a rectangle we will get rhombus.
Area of rhombus = $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$ product of diagonal
$=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(8\right)\times \left(6\right)$
$=24c{m}^2$
Hence, the correct option is (a).
