The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the area and the other diagonal of the rhombus given that angle A = 60° and diagonal BD = 5 cm, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the properties of a rhombus A rhombus has the following properties: - All sides are equal. - The diagonals bisect each other at right angles (90°). - The angles opposite each other are equal. ### Step 2: Label the rhombus Let the rhombus be ABCD where: - Angle A = 60° - Diagonal BD = 5 cm - Let O be the intersection point of the diagonals, which bisects BD. ### Step 3: Calculate the lengths of the segments Since diagonal BD is bisected at O: - BO = OD = BD/2 = 5/2 = 2.5 cm ### Step 4: Determine the angles at point O Since the diagonals bisect each other at right angles: - Angle AOB = 60° (given) - Angle AOD = 120° (because angle A + angle C = 180°) ### Step 5: Use trigonometry to find the sides In triangle AOB: - Angle AOB = 60° - Angle OAB = 30° (since triangle AOB is a right triangle) Using the sine rule in triangle AOB: - AB = BO / sin(30°) - Since sin(30°) = 1/2, we have: \[ AB = 2.5 / (1/2) = 5 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 6: Find AO using cosine Using the cosine rule in triangle AOB: \[ AO = BO \cdot \tan(30°) \] Since tan(30°) = 1/√3: \[ AO = 2.5 \cdot (1/\sqrt{3}) = \frac{2.5}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ cm} \] ### Step 7: Find the length of diagonal AC Since the diagonals bisect each other: \[ AC = 2 \cdot AO = 2 \cdot \frac{2.5}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ cm} \] ### Step 8: Calculate the area of the rhombus The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 \] Where \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) are the lengths of the diagonals. Here, \(d_1 = BD = 5\) cm and \(d_2 = AC = \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}\) cm. So, \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{25}{2\sqrt{3}} \text{ cm}^2 \] ### Final Result - The other diagonal AC = \( \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \) cm - The area of the rhombus = \( \frac{25}{2\sqrt{3}} \) cm²
