keeping in mind that in a rhombus all sides are equal, Check the picture below.
The perimeter of the rhombus is 60 cm if the lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 24 cm and 18 cm respectively.
A rhombus is a two-dimensional shape with four straight, equal sides and parallels opposite pairs.
This form is similar to a diamond and is what you'd expect to see on a deck of cards to symbolize the diamond suit. Rhombuses can be found in a variety of settings in everyday life.
We have:
The length of the diagonals of the rhombus is 24 cm and 18 cm
As we know in the rhombus the diagonals intersect at the right angle so it makes a right-angle triangle.
So half of the right-angle 24 cm will be perpendicular to the right-angle triangle and half of the 18 cm will be the base of the right-angle triangle.
a = 24/2 = 12 cm
b = 18/2 = 9 cm
From the Pythagoras theorem the length of the hypotenuse:
[tex]c = \sqrt{12^2+9^2}[/tex]
c = 15 cm
Now the perimeter will be:
The perimeter of the rhombus = 4(15) = 60 cm
Thus, the perimeter of the rhombus is 60 cm if the lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 24 cm and 18 cm respectively.
