Question

The perimeter of a rhombus is 40 m and its height is 5 m. Its area is :

• A. 60 sqm
• B. 50 sqm
• C. 45 sqm
• D. 55 sqm

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 50 sqm

Perimeter of rhombus = 4 × side

4 × side = 40

$Side =\frac{40}{4}=10m$

As, rhombus is a parallelogram of equal sides, its area = base × height $= 10 \times{ 5} = 50m^2.$
