Rhombus has 4 equal sides, and they are 8
The diagonals are perpendicular
The sides are the hypotenuse of right triangles formed by the diagonals.
One diagonal has a side of half 8 (it is a 30-60-90 triangle) or 4. The diagonal is 8
The other diagonal has half 4 sqrt(3) so the whole diagonal is 8 sqrt (3).
8 and 8 sqrt (3).
