प्रश्न

Rhombus PQRB is inscribed in ΔABC such that ∠B is one of its angle. P, Q and R lie on AB, AC and BC respectively. If AB = 12 cm and BC = 6 cm, find the sides PQ, RB of the rhombus.

योग

उत्तर

Let the side of the rhombus be “x”. Since PQRB is a

Rhombus PQ || BC

By basic proportionality theorem


`"AP"/"AB" = "PQ"/"BC" ⇒ (12 - x)/"BC" = x/6`

12x = 6(12 – x)

12x = 72 – 6x

12x + 6x = 72

18x = 72 ⇒ x = `72/18` = 4

Side of a rhombus = 4 cm

PQ = RB = 4 cm
