SEE THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE EXPLANATION.
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWERS ARE
\n" ); document.write( "SIDE=SQUARE ROOT OF ((10/2)^2+(24/2)^2)=13
\n" ); document.write( "ALTITUDE = AREA/SIDE
\n" ); document.write( "AREA =(1/2)*D1*D2=10*24/2=120
\n" ); document.write( "ALTITUDE=120/13=9.2
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "IN A RHOMBUS IF SIDE IS X WE HAVE
\n" ); document.write( "(D1/2)^2+(D2/2)^2=X^2...WHERE D1 AND D2 ARE DIAGONALS
\n" ); document.write( "IF D1=X = 6=AB=BC=CD=DA.....GIVEN.....THEN
\n" ); document.write( "(X/2)^2+(D2/2)^2=X^2...
\n" ); document.write( "(D2/2)^2=3X^2/4
\n" ); document.write( "D2/2=X*SQRT3/2
\n" ); document.write( "D2=X*SQRT3
\n" ); document.write( "SO EACH DIAGONAL IS X AND X*SQRT(3)
\n" ); document.write( "NOW X=6 SO
\n" ); document.write( "D1=6=AC AND D2 =6SQRT(3)=10.4 =BD\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "FIGURE IS GIVEN BELOW...DIMENSIONS ARE NOT THE SAME AS THOSE OF GIVEN RHOMBUS.
