Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 34 cm Given: Perimeter of a rhombus is 100 cm Length of diagonal = 14 cm Concept used: The two diagonals bisect each other at 90° in a rhombus. Formula used: Perimeter = 4 × (Side of the rhombus) Calculations: Let the side of rhombus be x and the diagonals be a and b Perimeter = 4x ⇒ 100 = 4x ⇒ x = 25 cm If the two diagonals of rhombus ABCD intersect at O then, ⇒ AO2 + BO2 = AB2 ⇒ (14/2)2 + (b/2)2 = 252 ⇒ 49 + (b2/4) = 625 ⇒ (b2/4) = 576 ⇒ b2 = 2304 ⇒ b = 48 cm Difference between the diagonals = b – a ⇒ 48 – 14 ⇒ 34 cm ∴ The difference between the two diagonals is 34 cm |
