| Let’s calculate what will be equal to half of the VD diagonal:
12: 2 = 6.
Let’s calculate what will be equal to half of the AC diagonal:
10: 2 = 5.
Since the diagonals of a rhombus by definition intersect at right angles, that is, their halves are the legs of a right-angled triangle, where the side of the rhombus is the hypotenuse, we calculate the length of the side of the rhombus:
x: 2 = 6: 2 + 5: 2;
x1 = √61.
x2 = -√61.
Let’s calculate how many centimeters the value of the rhombus perimeter will correspond to:
4 * √61 = 4√61.
Answer: The perimeter is 4√61 cm.
