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
