The rhombus (a,d)

Find the area of a rhombus, one side of which measures 20 cm, and one diagonal 24 cm.

Correct answer:

S =  384 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

a=20 cm u1=24 cm  a2 = h2 + (u1/2)2 h=a2(u1/2)2=202(24/2)2=16 cm u2=2 h=2 16=32 cm  S=21 u1 u2=21 24 32=384 cm2

Other diagonal=2*sqrt(20²-12²)=2*(32*8)½=2*16=32 cm

So the area =1/2*32*24 cm2=384 cm2
