Find the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus.

If the length of each side of a rhombus is 8 cm and its one angle is 60°, then find the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus.

Answer :

Each side of a rhombus = 8 cm

One angle = 60°

Trigonometric Ratios of Standard Angles Class 9 ICSE ML Aggarwal img 11

∠OAB = 60°/2 = 30°

In right ∠AOB

sin 30° = OB/AB

½ = OB/8

OB = 8/2 = 4 cm

BD = 2OB = 2 × 4 = 8 cm

cos 30° = AO/AB

√3/2 = AO/8

AO = 8√3/2 = 4√3

AC = 4√3 × 2 = 8 √3 cm

Hence,

The length of the diagonals of the rhombus are 8 cm and 8√3 cm.
