  A:  (50×0.6) +(80×0.3) +(10×0.1) = 30 +24 +1 = 55 . . . thousand

  B:  (100×0.1) +(64×0.7) +(-20×0.2) = 10 +44.8 -4 = 50.8 . . . thousand

Each side of a rhombus is 20 cm long and one of its diagonals is 24 cm in length, find the area of ​​this rhombus?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

AB = 20 CM

OA = 1

__ × 24 cm

2

= 12 cm

AOB = 90 °

OB² == AB² - OA ²

( {20}^{2} ) - ( {12}^{2} ) \\  = 400 - 144 \\  = 256 \\

ob \:  =  \sqrt{256}  = 16 \\ bd \:  = 2 \times ob \\  = 2 \times 16 \\  = 32cm \:  \\

AREA OF ABCD IS

\frac{1}{2 }  \times ac \times bd \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 24 \times 32 \\ 384cm

hope \: its \: helpful \:  \: to \: you \:
