    The area of a rhombus having one side 10 cm and one diagonal 12 cm is [SSC CGL Tier n, 2017]

    A) \[48\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]

    B) \[96\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[144\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]

    D) \[192\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Side of a rhombus \[(a)=10\,\,cm\] and diagonal  \[{{(d)}_{1}}=12\,cm\] We know that \[4{{a}^{2}}={{d}^{2}}+d_{2}^{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[4\times {{(10)}^{2}}={{(12)}^{2}}+d_{2}^{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[4\times 100=144+d_{2}^{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[d_{2}^{2}=100=144+d_{2}^{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{d}_{2}}=16\,cm\] Now, area of rhombus \[=\frac{1}{2}\times {{d}_{1}}\times {{d}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 12\times 16=6\times 16=96\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
