    The perimeter of a rhombus is 100 cm. If one of its diagonals is 14 cm, if the area of the rhomubus is

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

    B)  \[225\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]

    C)  \[336\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]        

    D)  \[400\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Perimeter of rhombus \[=2\sqrt{d_{1}^{2}+d_{2}^{2}}\] Where \[{{d}_{1}}\] and \[{{d}_{2}}\] are diagonals             \[=2\sqrt{d_{1}^{2}+d_{2}^{2}}=100\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[=\sqrt{d_{1}^{2}+d_{2}^{2}}=50\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[=d_{1}^{2}+d_{2}^{2}=2500\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[={{(14)}^{2}}+d_{2}^{2}=2500\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[=d_{2}^{2}=2500-196=2304\] \[\therefore \]      \[{{d}_{2}}=\sqrt{2304}=48\] \[\therefore \] Area of the rhombus             \[=\frac{1}{2}{{d}_{1}}\times {{d}_{2}}\]             \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 14\times 48=336\,\,\text{sq}\,\,\text{cm}\]
