A field in the form of a rhombus has each side of length 64 m and altitude 16 m. What is the side of a square field which has the same area as that of a rhombus?

Side of rhombus = 30 m


Altitude of rhombus = 16 m


Rhombus is a type of parallelogram


Area of parallelogram = base × altitude


Area of parallelogram = 64 × 16 = 1024 m2


Since area of rhombus = area of square


Area of square = side2


Side of a square =


Side of square =


Therefore side of square = 32 m
