A rhombus sheet, whose perimeter is 32 m and whose diagonal is 10 m long, is painted on both the sides at the rate of Rs 5 per meter square. Find the cost of painting.
Question:
A rhombus sheet, whose perimeter is 32 m and whose diagonal is 10 m long, is painted on both the sides at the rate of Rs 5 per meter square. Find the cost of painting.
Solution:
Given that,
Perimeter of a rhombus = 32 m
We know that,
Perimeter of a rhombus = 4 × side
4 × side = 32 m
4 × a = 32 m
a = 8 m
Let AC = 10 m
OA = 12 × AC
OA = 12 × 10
OA = 5 m
By using Pythagoras theorem
$O B^{2}=A B^{2}-O A^{2}$
$O B^{2}=8^{2}-5^{2}$
$O B=\sqrt{39} m$
$B D=2 \times O B$
$B D=2 \sqrt{39} m$
Area of the sheet $=1 / 2 \times \mathrm{BD} \times \mathrm{AC}$
Area of the sheet $=1 / 2 \times 2 \sqrt{39} \times 10$
Therefore, cost of printing on both sides at the rate of Rs. 5 per $\mathrm{m}^{2}$
$=$ Rs $2 \times 10 \sqrt{39} \times 5$
$=$ Rs. 625
