A rhombus is a quadrilateral where all sides have the same length.
Rhombuses have some special properties that help you determine their measurements.
Sides: if you know the length of one side, you know the length of the rest of the sides.
Angles: the angles which are adjacent to each other in a rhombus are supplements to each other. So if you have a rhombus with angles A, B, C and D, then A + B = 180 degrees, and A + D = 180 degrees. This also means that B = D. And because the sum of the angles of any quadilateral is 360 degrees, A = C.
Area: The area of a rhombus is the base * height, where the base is an arbitrary side of the rhombus and the height is the distance between the base and the opposite side of the rhombus. If you draw a perpendicular line between the base and the opposite side, the length of that line will be the height.

How do you find the area of a rhombus AC17 BD15?
if those are the measurements then that is not a rhombus, rhombi are 4 sided shapesthat have all equal sides
How do you solve an angles?
Using a protractor is the simplest way of solving the measurements of angles.
What is dimensional analysis?
a way to analyze and solve problems using the units, or dimensions, of the measurements.
How do you solve x and y for a rhombus when the top is 50 left side is x plus 9 and the bottom of the rhombus is 9y plus 5?
All sides of a rhombus are the same length. So x + 9 = 50 so that x = 41 Also, 9y + 5 = 50 so that 9y = 45 and therefore y = 5
What are the different names of rhombus?
A rhombus may be a square or just a rhombus (a rhombus is merely called a rhombus when there are no 90 degree angles).
