Question : The perimeter of a rhombus is $2p$ units, and the sum of the lengths of the diagonals is $m$ units. The area of the rhombus is:
Option 1: $\frac{m^{2}p}{4}$ sq. units
Option 2: $\frac{mp^{2}}{4}$ sq. units
Option 3: $\frac{m^{2} - p^{2}}{4}$ sq. units
Option 4: $\frac{p^{2} – m^{2}}{4}$ sq. units
Correct Answer: $\frac{m^{2} - p^{2}}{4}$ sq. units
Solution : Given that, the perimeter of a rhombus is $2p$ units, and the sum of the lengths of the diagonals is $m$ units. Let $d_1$ and $d_2$ be the diagonal of the rhombus. The perimeter of a rhombus $=2\sqrt{d_1^2+d_2^2}$ ⇒ $2p=2\sqrt{d_1^2+d_2^2}$ On
