Sunita has a piece of land which is in the shape of a rhombus. She wants her one daughter and one son to work on the land and produce different crops to suffice the needs of their family. She divided the land in two equal parts. If the perimeter of the land is 400 m and one of the diagonal is 160 m, how much area each of them will get >
Let ABCD be the field.
perimeter = 400 m
So, each side = 400 m ÷ 4 = 100 m.
i.e. AB = D = 100
Let diagonal BD = 160 m
Therefore, each of them will get an area of 4800 m2, and the total area
= 2 × 4800 m2 = 9600 m2.
