Given :-

  • Area of Rhombus = Area of Triangle

  • Base and Height of Triangle is 24.8 cm and 5.5 cm respectively .

  • Length of one diagonal of the rhombus is 22 cm .

To Find :-

  • Length of other Diagonal

Solution :-

As we know that

Area of triangle = ½ × Base × Height

  • Area = ½ × 24.8 × 5.5
  • Area = 1 × 12.4 × 5.5
  • Area = 12.4 × 5.5
  • Area = 68.2 cm²

Now,

Area of rhombus = ½ × D1 × D2

  • 68.2 = ½ × 22 × D2
  • 68.2 × 2 = 22 × D2
  • 136.4 = 22 × D2
  • 136.4/22 = D2
  • 6.2 = D2
  • D2=6.2

Hence :-

Other Diagonal is 6.2 cm.
