A rhombus shaped field has green grass for 18 cows to graze. If each side of the rhombus is 30 m and its longer diagonal is 48 m, how much area of grass field will each cow be getting?
For ΔABCa = 30 mb = 48 mc = 30 m Area of Area of the rhombus Aliter : Draw BE ⊥ AC. Then E is the midpoint of AC. In right triangle AEB. BD = 2 BE = 2 x 18 = 36 m Area of rhombus ABCD Product of diagonals
Area of right
∴ Area of rhombus ABCD = 4 Area of ΔAEB = 4 x 216 = 864 m2 Open in App Suggest Corrections 49 |
