Example Question #121 : Plane Geometry

Find the area of the rhombus.

4

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

13

Recall that one of the ways to find the area of a rhombus is with the following formula:

Now, since all four sides in the rhombus are the same, we know from the given side value what the length of the base will be. In order to find the length of the height, we will need to use sine.

, where  is the given angle.

Now, plug this into the equation for the area to get the following equation:

Plug in the given side length and angle values to find the area.

Make sure to round to  places after the decimal.

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Length Of The Diagonal Of A Rhombus

Assume quadrilateral  is a rhombus. If the perimeter of  is  and the length of diagonal , what is the length of diagonal ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the value of diagonal , we must first recognize some important properties of rhombuses. Since the perimeter is of  is , and by definition a rhombus has four sides of equal length, each side length of the rhombus is equal to . The diagonals of rhombuses also form four right triangles, with hypotenuses equal to the side length of the rhombus and legs equal to one-half the lengths of the diagonals. We can therefore use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for one-half of the unknown diagonal:

, where  is the rhombus side length,  is one-half of the known diagonal, and  is one-half of the unknown diagonal. We can therefore solve for :

 is therefore equal to . Since  represents one-half of the unknown diagonal, we need to multiply by  to find the full length of diagonal .

The length of diagonal  is therefore
