Best Answer

The diagonals of a rhombus intersect at 90 degrees therefore it has 4 right angle triangles with sides of 5 and 6 respectively with the hypotenuse being a side of the rhombus.

So using Pythagoras' theorem: 52+62 = 61 and the square root of this is the length of each side of the rhombus which is approximately 7.81 units of measurement

Does a rhombus have equal length?

The answer depends on which aspect of a rhombus. Its sides are of equal length but its diagonals are NOT!


Which quadrilateral has All sides are the same length the diagonals are not equal in length?

rhombus


Is the diagonals of rhombus congruent?

"Congruent" isn't used to describe the diagonals of a rhombus. However, all four sides of a rhombus are congruent - they are all the same length.The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other. They are not the same length - if the diagonals were the same length, then you would have a square.


Why do the diagonals of a rhombus not have to be the same length?

The sides of a rhombus must all be the same length, but the angles do not need to be the same. The result is a diamond shape where the diagonals can be two different lengths.


Which is the best classification for a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals?

It is a rhombus. All four sides have the same length and the diagonals are therefore perpendicular.


How does a square differ from a rhombus?

A square is a rhombus with all angles 90o. When the angles of a rhombus are not all 90o, it differs from the square in this respect, and the diagonals are not of equal length unlike those of a square. A rhombus is like a square in that all its sides are equal in length, opposite sides are parallel and the diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other.


What is the rhombus of a with diagonals of 10 ft and 12 ft?

It is a rhombus with sides of length sqrt(61) feet = approx 7.8 feet.


Similariteis between a rhombus and a parallelogrom?

A rhombus is a parallelgram but with all 4 sides the same length (congruent). Also, the diagonals if a rhombus are perpendicular but not necessarily congruent.


The diagonals of the rhombus are in the ratio 3 4 the perimeter of the rhombus is 40cm find the lengths of the sides and of the diagonals?

The length of the sides of the rhombus are 10cm, as a rhombus has equal sides. since the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular, ratio of side of rhombus to 1/2 a diagonal to 1/2 of another diagonal is 5:4:3 (pythagorean thriple), hence ratio of side of rhombus to 1 diagonal to another diagonal is 5:8:6. since 5 units = 10cm 8 units = 16cm 6 units = 12cm and there are your diagonals.


How do you find the value of x in a rhombus?

To find the value of x in a rhombus, use these properties. All sides of a rhombus are the same length. Opposite angles of a rhombus are the same size and measure. Intersection of the diagonals of a rhombus form right angles. Sides are perpendicular. The diagonals of rhombus bisect each other. Adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees.


How do you find the length of the rhombus when the length of the diagonals are given?

By dividing itImproved Answer:-A rhombus has 4 equal sides and its diagonals bisect each other at 90 degrees thus forming 4 equal right angle triangles and by using Pythagoras' theorem any of the 4 equal sides can be found.


Is a square sometimes a rhombus?

By definition, a rhombus is a parallelogram with all its sides equal in length and is symmetrical about each of its diagonals..A square is a rectangle with all its sides equal in length and is symmetrical about its diagonals and the axes perpendicularly bisecting each pair of opposite sides.Consequently, a square can never be a rhombus but it could be argued that a rhombus whose vertex angles all become 90° then becomes a square.
