A rhombus has sides of length 7 cm. One of its diagonals is 10 cm long. Find the lengths of the other diagonal.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We know that the two diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
\n" ); document.write( "This forms a right triangle with a side of 5 cm and hypotenuse of 7 cm
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1. Find one of the angles(A) of the right triangle using the cosine; \"5%2F7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. Then find the 3rd side using the sine of this same angle.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3. Double the value of that side and you have the length of the other diagonal.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Cosine(A) = \"5%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 44.415 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Sin(44.4153) = \"a%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( ".69985 = \"a%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "a = 7 * .69985
\n" ); document.write( "a = 4.899 * 2 = 9.8 cm is the length of the other diagonal
\n" ); document.write( ":
