If the perimeter of a diamond is 20cm and the length of a diagonal is 8cm, its area is______ .

If the perimeter of a diamond is 20cm and the length of a diagonal is 8cm, its area is______ .

As shown in the figure, the perimeter of diamond shaped ABCD is 20cm, AC = 8cm. ∵ ABCD is diamond shaped, ∵ AB = BC = CD = Da = 20 △ 4 = 5 (CM), Ao = AC △ 2 = 4 (CM), ∠ AOB = 90 °. ∵ Bo = 52 − 42 = 3 (CM), BD = 2BO = 6 (CM) ∵ sabcd = 12ac · BD = 12 × 8 × 6 = 24 (cm2)
