A Rhombus whose one side is 10 cm has one diagonal length is 12 cm. Find the measurement of other diagonals. |
Answer» » To Find :The length of other diagonal . » We Know :
Pythagoras theorem :Where ,
» Concept :We Know ,that the in rhombus the diagonals intersect each other equally and at 90°. So the length AO will be Equal to length OC. Hence , we get the length as : And the given length is 10 cm . According to the Diagram , if we look at the FIGURE ADO ,we get a right-angled triangle having 90° at point O . So by this information ,we can find the length OD , which is the CORRESPONDING height ,by using the Pythagoras theorem . » Solution :Given Information :
Taken : Let the Corresponding height be x Formula : By substituting the values in it ,we get : Now, Subtracting 6² from both the sides ,we get : By Square rooting on both the sides ,we get : Hence , the Corresponding height is 8 cm . We Know, that the Diagonals intersect each other equally. And the Corresponding height is the length DO , which is equal to OB ,so the other diagonal is twice of DO, i.e. Substituting the value of DO ,in the above expression ,we get : Hence , the other diagonal is 16 cm. » ADDITIONAL information :
