Answer» Answer: GIVEN :Perimeter = 104 cm Ratio = 5:12 To Find :LENGTH of diagonal Solution :Side = Perimeter of RHOMBUS ÷ 4 Side = 104 ÷ 4 Side = 26 cm Let, Diagonal 1 = 5x Diagonal 2 = 12x Since diagonal bisect each other Diagonal 1/2 5x/2 Diagonal 2/2 12x/2 6x By using Pythagorean THEOREM (26)² = (5x/2)² + (6x)² 676 = 25x²/4 + 48x² 676 = 25x² × 48x²/4 676 = 169x²/4 676 × 4 = 169x² 1352 = 169x² 1352/169 = x² 16 = x² √16 = x 4 = x Diagonal are 5 × 4 = 20 cm 12 × 4 = 48 cm |
