Question

If the area of the rhombus below is 273 m 2, and diagonal AC = 13 m, find the length of diagonal BD.

Answer 1

`C.\:42`

1) Since the area of a Rhombus is given by the product of their diagonals over 2. We can tell that:

`\begin{gathered} A=(AC* BD)/(2) \\ \\ 273=(13BD)/(2) \\ \\ 13BD=546 \\ \\ BD=(546)/(13) \\ \\ BD=42 \end{gathered}`

2) Thus, we can tell that the length of BD is 42
