The perimeter of a rhombus is 28 centimeters. what is the length of each side of the rhombus

Hello, I am user papaguy I have given verified answers for along time.

All sides of a rhombus are congruent. 28/4 (four sides) =7

Each side is 7 cm long

Thank you, Have a great day.

Each side would be 7 cm long.

A rhombus is a 4 sided figure in which all sides are equal. All that prevents it from being a square is that the angles are not 90 degrees. Therefore, in order to find the side lengths, we just divide 28 by the number of sides.

28/4 = 7

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
