Algebra.Com's Answer #767906 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "If one of the diagonals is equal to the side length, then that diagonal divides the rhombus into two equilateral triangles. \n" ); document.write( "The other diagonal of the rhombus is composed of the heights of the two equilateral triangles. Each of those heights has a length equal to sqrt(3)/2 times the side length; so the length of the other diagonal is sqrt(3) times the side length. \n" ); document.write( "Then the area of a rhombus is half the product of the lengths of the diagonals. \n" ); document.write( "You can put those pieces together, along with the given length of the longer diagonal, to finish the problem. \n" ); document.write( " |
