Question 1193778: Given: rhombus ABCD (not shown) in which diagonals AC and DB intersect at point E
DB = AB = 6 Find: AC in simplest radical form and approximation Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! DB=AB=6
so all sides are 6.
EB=3, AB=6. AEB is a 30-60-90 right triangle with the diagonal the longer of the two lengths at 3 sqrt(3).
So the length of the diagonal is double that or 6 sqrt (3).
Because EB is 1/2 of AB in a right triangle, this is a 30-60-90 rt triangle.
