    The area of a rhombus, one side of which measures 25 cm and diagonal 30 cm, is

    A)  600 sq cm            

    B)  250 sq cm

    C)  200 sq cm          

    D)         150 sq cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Given, Side \[(x)=25m;\] Diagonal, \[{{d}_{1}}=30\text{ }cm\] If the other diagonal is \[{{d}_{2}},\] then                 \[25=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{d_{1}^{2}+d_{2}^{2}}\] or            \[50=\sqrt{{{30}^{2}}+d_{2}^{2}}\] or            \[{{50}^{2}}={{30}^{2}}+d_{2}^{2}\] or            \[d_{2}^{2}={{50}^{2}}-{{30}^{2}}=80\times 20\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{d}^{2}}=40\,cm\] Hence. area of rhombus \[=\frac{1}{2}{{d}_{1}}\times {{d}_{2}}\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 30\times 40\]                                 \[=600\,sq.m.\]
