Find the area of a rhombus whose perimeter is 164 cm and one diagonal is of length 80 cm.
Question

Find the area of a rhombus whose perimeter is 164 cm and one diagonal is of length 80 cm.

A.

705 cm2\text{cm}^2​​

B.

710 cm2\text{cm}^2

C.

720 cm2\text{cm}^2

D.

700 cm2\text{cm}^2

Correct option is C

Given:
Perimeter of the rhombus = 164 cm
One diagonal (d₁) = 80 cm
Concept Used:
All sides of a rhombus are equal.
Diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
Area of a rhombus = 12\frac 12​ × d₁ × d₂
Side = Perimeter4\frac{\text{Perimeter}}{4}​​
Solution:
Side =1644\frac{164}{4}​ = 41 cm
Half of d₁ = 802\frac{80}{2} ​= 40 cm
Using Pythagoras Theorem:
412=402+(d22)2=>1681=1600+(d22)2=>(d22)2=81=>d22=9=>d2=18 cm41^2 = 40^2 + \left(\frac{d_2}{2}\right)^2 \\\Rightarrow 1681 = 1600 + \left(\frac{d_2}{2}\right)^2 \\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{d_2}{2}\right)^2 = 81 \\\Rightarrow \frac{d_2}{2} = 9 \\\Rightarrow d_2 = 18 \, \text{cm}​​
Area = 12\frac{1}{2}​ × 80 × 18 = 720 cm²
The area of the rhombus is 720 cm².
