Question : If the sum of the diagonals of a rhombus is $L$ and the perimeter is $4P$, find the area of the rhombus.
Option 1: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-\mathrm{P}^2\right)$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-4 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2+3 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-4 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-4 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$
Solution : Perimeter = $4P$ ⇒ 4 × side = $4P$ ⇒ Side = $P$ Let $d_1$ and $d_2$ be the diagonals. The sum of the diagonals = $L$ ⇒ $d_1+d_2$ = L ----------------------(i) Now, (Side)$^2$ = $(\frac{d_1}{2})^2 + (\frac{d_2}{2})^2$ ⇒ $P^2 = (\frac{d_1}{2})^2 + (\frac{d_2}{2})^2$
