The degree measure of one of the corners of the rhombus is 120 degrees.
The degree measure of one of the corners of the rhombus is 120 degrees. Calculate the area of a rhombus if the area of a circle inscribed in it is 3pi cm2
The area of the circle is equal to: Sokr = n * R ^ 2 = 3 * n.
R ^ 2 = 3.
R = √3.
The KM segment is the diameter of the circle and is equal to 2 * R.
KM = 2 * √3.
The height of the rhombus AH = KM = 2 * √3.
In a rhombus, the opposite angles are equal, then the angle ADC = (360 – 120 – 120) / 2 = 60.
Consider a right-angled triangle АНD, in which the leg АН = 2 * √3, and the angle АDН = 60.
SinADN = AH / AD.
√3 / 2 = 2 * √3 / AD.
АD = 2 * √3 / (√3 / 2) = 4 cm.
Since the rhombus has the same lengths of the sides, then DC = AB.
The area of the rhombus will be equal to:
S = DC * AH = 4 * 2 * √3 = 8 * √3 cm2.
Answer: The area of the rhombus is 8 * √3 cm2.
