Question #90894

A rhombus ABCD has side of length 10 .a circle with center A passes through C and similar for center B And passes through D.
If two circles are tangent to each other find area of rhombus

Expert's answer

Two circles are tangent to each other inner way. Since the condition B is the center of the second circle, then AB, BD and BC are radii of the second circle, besides, ABCD is a rhombus. Therefore, ABD is an equilateral triangle. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180o. Since all sides are equal, then

∠BAD=180o/3=60o.∠BAD = 180^o/3 = 60^o.

Then find the area of rhombus by the formula:


S=a2sin(∠BAD)S=a^2sin(∠BAD)

S=102∗sin(60o)S = 10^2*sin(60^o) = 50350\sqrt3
