Question : If one diagonal of a rhombus is equal to its side, then the diagonals of the rhombus are in the ratio of:
Option 1: $\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{6}$
Option 2: $\sqrt{2}:1$
Option 3: $\sqrt{2}:\sqrt{3}$
Option 4: $1:\sqrt{3}$
Correct Answer: $1:\sqrt{3}$
Solution : Let the side of the rhombus be $a$. In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other at 90°. Here, PR = $a$, So, OP = $\frac{a}{2}$ Also OQ = $\frac{SQ}{2}$ Now, $\triangle$POQ is a right-angled triangle. On applying Pythagoras theorem, we get, $PQ^2=OP^2+OQ^2$ $⇒a^2=(\frac{a}{2})^2+(\frac{SQ}{2})^2$ $⇒(\frac{SQ}{2})^2=\frac{3a^2}{4}$
