Practice Problems on Rhomboid
Eaxmple 1: What is perimeter of rhomboid having adjacent sides of length 7cm and 9cm?
Solution:
Perimeter of rhomboid = 2 (a + b)
a = 7cm , b = 9cm
= 2 (7 + 9) = 2 (16) = 32 cm.
The perimeter of rhomboid is 32 cm.
Example 2: What is area of rhomboid having base equal to 7cm and height is equal to 5cm?
Solution:
Area of Rhomboid = base ⨉ height
base = 7cm and height = 5cm
Area of Rhomboid = 7 ⨉ 5 = 35 cm2.
The Area of rhomboid is 35 cm2 .
Example 3: If the perimeter of rhomboid is 50 cm and length of one side is 16cm then find the length of another adjacent side and also calculate the area of rhomboid.
Solution:
Perimeter of Rhomboid = 2(a + b)
a = 16cm , b = ?
perimeter = 2(16 + b) = 50
⇒ (16 + b) = 25
⇒ b = 25 – 16 = 9 cm.
⇒ a = 16 cm and b = 9cm
Another Adjacent side of Rhombus is 9 cm.
Now, Area of rhomboid = base ⨉ height
16 ⨉ 9 = 144 cm2 .
Area of Rhomboid is 144 cm2.
Rhomboid
Rhomboid is a close geometric figure in which opposite sides are parallel to each other. Rhomboid is different from Rhombus. Rhomboid is a type of parallelogram. Since, in a Rhomboid opposite sides are parallel it is a parallelogram, however, all sides are not equal, hence it is not a rhombus.
In this article, we are going to discuss what a is Rhomboid in Geometry, the properties of a rhomboid, the difference between a Rhombus and a Rhomboid, formula for calculating the area and perimeter of a Rhomboid.
