Question

The sum of the squares of the sides of a rhombus is 900 m². What is the side of the rhombus.

• A. 16 m
• B. 15 m
• C. 14 m
• D. 17 m

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 15 m

Solution:

Given:

4(side of rhombus)² = 900 m²

Concept:

The side of a rhombus is equal.

Calculation:

Let the side of the rhombus 'a'

∴ Sum of side of Rhombus = 4a

∵ 4a² = 900 m²

⇒ a² = 900/4 m²

⇒ a = √(900/4) m

⇒ a = 30/2 m

⇒ a = 15 m

∴ The correct answer is 15 m.
