Question

Fill in the blanks to make the statement true.

If the diagonals of a rhombus get doubled, then the area of the rhombus becomes __________ its original area.

Answer 1

4 times

Explanation:

Let p and q be the two diagonals of the rhombus

We know that area of a rhombus = pq/2

If the diagonals are doubled, we will get

A= (4p)(4q)/2

Take 4 outside, we will get

A = 4(pq/2)
