To calculate: the length of one side of a rhombus for a given length of diagonals.
Answer to Problem 14CUR
The length of one side of the rhombus is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: The diagonals of a rhombus are of the measure 18 and 24.
Formula used:
1) The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
2) The relationship between the legs of right triangle (shown in figure below) a , b and its hypotenuse c is obtained by using Pythagoras theorem.
It can be expressed as,
Calculation: Consider the rhombus given below.
Since, the diagonals are perpendicular to each other and bisect at their point of intersection, the triangle OEF, and the remaining three
