Question

The perimeter of a rhombus is 64 in. What is the length of each side of the rhombus? Explain

Answer 1

`16` inches

Explanation:

By definition, a rhombus is a quadrilateral whose four sides are equal (a square is a special case of a rhombus in which the internal angles are also all equal)

Therefore, denoting the length of one of the sides by `x`, it is possible to write

`4x = 64` inches

Dividing through by `x`

`x = 64/4 = 16` inches
