Question


If the area of a rhombus-shaped box is 67cm2 and its one diagonal is 6cm. Find the side of the rhombus.


Options:
A .   8 cm
B .   3 cm
C .   4 cm
D .   5 cm
Answer: Option C
:
C

Let the side of the rhombus = a
Area of the triangle containing the diagonal = 12 times area of the rhombus


One of the diagonal = 6 cm


Semi perimeter = 6+a+a2=a+3


Now the area of the triangle containing the diagonal =s(sa)(sb)(sc) 


37 = (a+3)(a+3a)(a+3a)(a+36)
                     =  (a+3)(a3)(9)
                     = (a29)(9)
We take square on both sides and get,
63 = (a29)×9
(a29) = 7
a2 = 7+9 = 16


 a= 4cm
