Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

6π25

Solution :

Let the diagonals of the rhombus be d1=12 cm and d2=16 cm.

The area of the rhombus is given by:
Arearhombus=12×d1×d2=12×12×16=96 cm2

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles. The half-lengths of the diagonals are 6 cm and 8 cm. Thus, the side length a of the rhombus is:
a=62+82=10 cm

Let r be the radius of the inscribed circle. The radius of the inscribed circle in a rhombus can be found using the area and side length:
Arearhombus=base×height=a×(2r)
96=10×2rr=4.8 cm=245 cm

The area of the inscribed circle is:
Areacircle=πr2=π(245)2=576π25 cm2

The ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the rhombus is:
Ratio=576π2596=576π25×96=6π25
