Pythagoras and Heron are together !!!

Geometry Level 5

John had a 16 x 10 rectangular paper. He wanted to make a kite from it , so he marked mid points of all four sides of rectangle and join them to form a rhombus.Then he cut that rhombus to form a kite .Later he attached a triangle with sides 5,6,5 at the base of rhombus. Then find the total area of kite and also find the side of rhombus , if the side is 'n' then square it and add it with the area of rhombus and find its cube.


The answer is 4826809.

If the rhombus is made by joining the mid points, its diagonals will be equal to corresponding sides of rectangle, i.e. d1=16, d2=10, so area of rhombus = d1 d2/2= 80 Then area of base triangle = 1/2 6*4=12 Side of rhombs,n= √(8^2+5^2)=√89 So ans ={n^2+80+12}^3=181^3=5929741

It says (n^2+area of rhombus*)^3 = (89+80)^3= 169^3 = 4826809 *not area of kite
