The side of the rhombus forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one half the length as one leg and one half the width as the other.
a=one leg=(1/2)length=12 feet
b=other leg=(1/2)width=5 feet
c=side of rhombus=hypotenuse of right triangle
. Find the square root of each side. ANSWER: The sides of the rhombus are 13 feet long.
