two opposite angle of a rhombus are 120 each. construct the Rhombus given the length of side is 5 cm. |

Answer» Suppose GIVEN rhombus is ABCD , with each side = 10 cm, smaller DIAGONAL is BD & longer diagonal is AC , with point of intersection O. TO FIND: AC = ? < A = 60° => TRIANGLE ABD is an equilateral triangle. as AB = AD hence base angles will be equal. & each will be of 60° Hence smaller diagonal BD = 10 cm => BO = 10/2 = 5 cm As, diagonals of a rhombus, bisect each other at right angles. => TRI AOB is a right triangle with hypotenuse AB. AB² = BO² + AO² => 10² = 5² + AO² => AO = √(100 - 25) => AO = √75 = 5√3 cm => 2AO = 10√3 cm => AC = 10√3 cm |
