Question

11. What is the altitude of a rhombus if its area is 10 square meters and the length on one side is 2.5 meters?

A. 4 m
B. 10 m
C. 7.5 m
D. 12.5 m

Answer 1

4 m so, A.

Explanation:

Area = side x altitude then,

Your altitude = area/side

which =40/12.5= 4 m

Hope my answer has helped you!

Answer 2

Answer: A. 4 m

Explanation:

We know that a rhombus is a kind of parallelogram.

Area of parallelogram = (Altitude ) x ( Base)

Thus , Area of rhombus = (Altitude ) x ( Base)

As per given , Base = 2.5 meters

Area of rhombus = 10 square meters

Substitute all values in formula , we get

`10=(\text{Altitude})*2.5\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Altitude}=(10)/(2.5)=4`

Hence, the altitude of a rhombus is 4 m.

Thus , the correct answer is A. 4 m ,
