The formula for the area of a rhombus is Area = (diagonal1 * diagonal2) / 2.
In this case, we are given the area, which is 50 square meters, and the length of one side, which is 12.5 meters.
We can calculate the length of the diagonals using the formula for the area. Let x be the length of the other diagonal.
50 = (12.5 * x) / 2
100 = 12.5 * x
8 = x
Now that we have the length of both diagonals, we can calculate the altitude of the rhombus using the following formula:
Altitude = (diagonal1 * diagonal2) / side
Altitude = (12.5 * 8) / 12.5
Altitude = 100 / 12.5
Altitude = 8 meters
Therefore, the altitude of the rhombus is 8 meters.
What is the altitude of a rhombus if it's area is 50 square meters and the length on one side is 12.5 meters
