So if a rhombus has a diagonal of 14 and 2x+7y-3, how would you find the perimeter?
With the diagonal of 2x+7y-3, one side of the diagonal is 3x and the other side is 5y-1.

What should I do: write my (the correct) solution, or comment yours (incorrect)?

Comment from student: Please write the correct solution. Thank you.

OK.
The diagonals divide the rhombus in four congruent right-angled triangles.
They have the legs of half the diagonals, i.e. units long and units long.
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the side of the rhombus has the length
.
The perimeter of the rhombus is four times this length, i.e.
.

Comment from student #2: I'm sorry but I don't understand still. On my worksheet it says that
the diagonal that is 2x+7y-3, is split into two and one side of it is 3x and the other is 5y-1.

OK.
I see that we do not understand each other.
