A rhombus sheet, whose perimeter is 32 m and whose one diagonal is 10 m long, is painted on both sides at the rate of Rs. 5 per m2. Find the cost of painting.
Since the sides of a rhombus are equal there fore each side = =
= 8 m
Let a, b and c are the sides of triangle and s is
the semi-perimeter, then its area is given by:
A = where
[Heron’s Formula]
=
= 13
A=
A = =
cm2
Hence, area of rhombus ABCD = 2 ×31.22 m2
= 62.44 m2
Total painting area of rhombus = 62.44 × 2 = 124.88 m2
Cost of painting of rhombus on both sides = 124.88 × 5 = Rs 624.50
