find the length of a rhombus if the lengths of its diagonals are: 5 cm and 12 cm

Sagot :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rhombus is the length of the long diagonal: 12 cm.

Perhaps you want the length of one side. We recognize the given lengths as the legs of a 5-12-13 right triangle. Since each side is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are half the diagonals, the side length of the rhombus will be half of 13 cm.

The side lengths of the rhombus are 6.5 cm.
