Q71
The length of one side of a rhombus is 6.5 cm and its altitude is 10 cm. If the length of its diagonal be 26 cm, the length of the other diagonal will be:
A.
5 cm
AnswerB.
10 cm
C.
6.5 cm
D.
26 cm
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:

(∴ Rhombus is a parallelogram ∴ area of Rhombus = base × height)
Area of Rhombus
= base × height
= 6.5 × 10
= 65 cm2
Also area of Rhombus = × d1 × d2
⇒ × 26 × d2 = 65
⇒ 13 × d2 = 65
⇒ d2 = 5 cm
