One of the corners of the rhombus is 120 degrees. Find the P rhombus if the diagonal of this corner outgoing from the vertex is 10 cm.
Let the angle ABC = 120 ° in the rhombus ABCD and the diagonal BD = 10 cm.
It is necessary to calculate the perimeter of the rhombus P.
Based on the properties of the rhombus, the ADC angle is equal to the ABC angle and is 120 °.
In addition, the diagonal BD divides the angle ABC in half.
It turns out that the angles ABD and CBD are equal to 60 °, and the angles ADB and CDB are also equal to 60 °.
It follows that the triangles ABD and CBD are regular, whence it follows:
AB = BD = AD, BC = CD = BD.
Thus, all sides of the rhombus are equal to its diagonal BD.
It turns out, P = 4 * BD.
P = 4 * 10 cm.
P = 40 cm.
Answer: the perimeter of the rhombus is 40 cm.
