The length of one of the diagonals of a rhombus is 48 cm. If the side of the rhombus is 26 cm, then what is the area of the rhombus?
Answer
The correct answer is D: 480 cm². Half of diagonal d1 = 24. Using Pythagorean theorem: half of d2 = √(26²−24²) = √(676−576) = √100 = 10, so d2 = 20.
- A.360 cm²
- B.540 cm²
- C.420 cm²
- D.480 cm²✓ Correct
Half of diagonal d1 = 24. Using Pythagorean theorem: half of d2 = √(26²−24²) = √(676−576) = √100 = 10, so d2 = 20. Area = (1/2)×d1×d2 = (1/2)×48×20 = 480 cm².
