Question:
If the diagonals of a rhombus get doubled, then the area of the rhombus becomes __________ its original area.
Solution:
4 times
Explanation:
Let p and q be the two diagonals of the rhombus
We know that area of a rhombus = pq/2
If the diagonals are doubled, we will get
A= (4p)(4q)/2
Take 4 outside, we will get
A = 4(pq/2)
