it would have 2 and a 1/2 sides

It depends on how it is cut in half: along a diagonal (into two triangles), along a line parallel to a side (into two parallelograms), along a line perpendicular to a side (into two trapezia), or along some other line (into two quadrilaterals). In some cases you can find the angles, in others you cannot.

What is a rhombus?
The rhombus is an equilateral quadrilateral, which means that it has four sides that are equal in length, but the angles do not all need to be the same.Opposite sides of a rhombus are parallelThe diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors, that is they cut each other exactly in half at right angles.A rhombus is a special case of a parallelogram in that all four sides are equal in length, not just the opposite sides.A square is a special case of a rhombus in that all the angles are equal (at 90°).A rhombus is a fancy scientific name for "diamond." They're the same thing.Its A Slanted Square..
How do you find the angles of a Rhombus given that one diagonal is equal to one of its side?
The important property of a rhombus to note is that a rhombus has all sides of equal length. Then: Let the vertices be A, B, C, D; let the diagonal BD be the same length as the sides. Consider the triangle ABD formed by two sides of the rhombus and the diagonal BD. As all sides are equal in length, it must be an equilateral triangle and thus each angle can be calculated, in particular angle BAD of the rhombus. Consider the triangle BCD formed by the other two sides of the rhombus and the diagonal BD. The angle BCD of the rhombus can also be calculated as above. For angles ABC and CDA of the rhombus, note that angle ABC is the same as the sum of angles ABD and DBC. and those angles can be calculated above; similarly for angle CDA. A short cut that can be used is the property of a rhombus that opposite angles of a rhombus are equal which means once angle DAB has been calculate, BCD is then known. Then by subtracting the sum of these from 360o (the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral and a rhombus is an quadrilateral) and dividing the result by 2 will give the other two angles..
How many angles does a pentagon have in its base?
It has 5 angles, but if you're cutting pieces of wood to make one , you'll need to cut 10 angles to fit them together. 5 angles equal 360 degrees divided by 5 = 72 degrees but to cut each piece to make the 72 degree angles you have to make each cut half of 72 or 36 degrees
How do you find the square root of a number with an exponent?
Cut the exponent in half.
How can you find the area of any triangle?
You multiply half of base times height so find base times height and cut it in half.

Why the diagonalof a square forms 45degrees?
because part ofthe definition of a square is that all four angles are 90 degrees. when you put a diagonal across a square you are cutting the square and the angles in half. and if you cut 90 degrees in half you get 45 degrees.
You cut a snake in half and cant find the half with the head still attached will it still live?
No. If you cut a snake in half you will sever vital organs and major blood vessels.
