How to Calculate the Perimeter of a Rhombus

2023-12-18 17:29:30

The perimeter of a rhombus can be calculated by adding all four sides of the shape together. First, we need to find the length of the missing sides using the given diagonal lengths of the rhombus. To do this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the two missing sides of the rhombus form two right triangles with the given diagonal lengths as their hypotenuses.

Let's label the sides of our right triangles as a, b, and c, where a and b are the lengths of the two missing sides and c is the length of the given diagonal. We can set up two equations using the Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = 24²
b² + c² = 32²

Solving these equations simultaneously, we get a = 4 and b = 16. Now, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rhombus, which is P = 4a, where a is the length of one side.

P = 4(4) = 16cm

This means that the perimeter of the rhombus is 16 cm. Don't forget to label your answer with the correct unit of measurement!

Proving that ABCD is a Rhombus and Finding its Area

To prove that ABCD is a rhombus, we first need to show that all four sides are equal in length and that the opposite angles are congruent.

To begin, we will use the distance formula to find the lengths of each side.

Side AB = sqrt((11-7)^2 + (2-4)^2) = sqrt(16 + 4) = sqrt(20)
Side BC = sqrt((7-11)^2 + (0-2)^2) = sqrt(16 + 4) = sqrt(20)
Side CD = sqrt((3-7)^2 + (2-0)^2) = sqrt(16 + 4) = sqrt(20)
Side DA = sqrt((3-7)^2 + (2-4)^2) = sqrt(16 + 4) = sqrt(20)

As we can see, all four sides have the same length, which proves that ABCD is a rhombus.

Next, we can use the slope formula to find the slopes of each side.

Slope AB = (2-4)/(11-7) = -0.5
Slope BC = (0-2)/(7-11) = -0.5
Slope CD = (2-0)/(3-7) = -0.5
Slope DA = (2-4)/(3-7) = -0.5

Since all four sides have the same slope, we can conclude that all four angles are congruent and ABCD is a rhombus.

Now, to find the area of the rhombus, we can use the formula A = (1/2) * d1 *d2, where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.

Diagonal AC = sqrt((7-7)^2 + (4-0)^2) = sqrt(16) = 4
Diagonal BD = sqrt((11-3)^2 + (2-2)^2) = sqrt(64) = 8

Therefore, the area of ABCD = (1/2) * 4 * 8 = 16 square units.

Hence, we have proven that ABCD is a rhombus and have found its area to be 16 square units.
