The diagonals bisect each other at right angles. So you could use Pythagoras on half the diagonals. So, if the diagonals are a and b units long, then half the diagonals are a/2 and b/2 units long. Then, by Pythagoras, the sides of the rhombus are sqrt[(a/2)2 + (b/2)2]
They might, but they do not have to. A very long and narrow parallelogram would have diagonals that cross at a very sharp angle.no they donot
