Question

    The perimeter of a rhombus is 48 m and its height is 6 m. Its area is:

    A 44m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 72m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 91m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 56m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 75m² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Using formula, Area of rhombus = 4 x side Therefore, 4 x side = 48 ⇒ Side = 48/4 = 12 m As, rhombus is a parallelogram of equal sides, Its area = base × height = 12 × 6 = 72m2
