Question : If the perimeter of a rhombus is 40 cm and one of its diagonals is 16 cm, what is the area (in cm2) of the rhombus?
Option 1: 72
Option 2: 48
Option 3: 96
Option 4: 192
Correct Answer: 96
Solution :
The perimeter of a rhombus is the sum of all its sides. The side of rhombus $=\frac{40}{4} = 10\;\mathrm{cm}$ AB = BC = CD = DA = 10 cm AC =16 cm OA = OC = 8 cm $\mathrm{OB} = \sqrt{(\mathrm{AB})^2 - (\mathrm{OA})^2} = \sqrt{(10)^2 - (8)^2} = \sqrt{36} = 6\;\mathrm{cm}$ ⇒ BD = 6 × 2 = 12 cm The area of a rhombus $=\frac{1}{2} \times (\mathrm{AC×BD})$ So, the area of the given rhombus $=\frac{1}{2} \times 16 \times 12 = 96\;\mathrm{cm^2}$ Hence, the correct answer is 96.
