a rhombus has a perimeter of 217 cm. what is the length of each side of the rhombus?



Answer :

54.25 cm because a rhombus has four congruent sides and 217 divided by 4 equals 54.25

The length of each side of the rhombus is 54.25 cm

Further explanation

To solve the above questions, we need to recall some of the formulas as follows:

Area of Square = (Length of Side)²

Perimeter of Square = 4 × (Length of Side)

Area of Rectangle = Length × Width

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × ( Length + Width )

Area of Rhombus = ½ × ( Diagonal₁ + Diagonal₂ )

Perimeter of Rhombus = 4 × ( Length of Side )

Area of Kite = ½ × ( Diagonal₁ + Diagonal₂ )

Perimeter of Kite = 2 × ( Length of Side₁ + Length of Side₂ )

Let us now tackle the problem !

Given:

Perimeter of Rhombus = P = 217 cm

Unknown:

Length of each side of the rhombus = S = ?

Solution:

This problem is about Perimeter of Rhombus.

Rhombus has 4 equal sides.

[tex]\texttt{Perimeter of Rhombus} = 4 \times \texttt{Length of Each Side}[/tex]

[tex]P = 4 \times S[/tex]

[tex]217 = 4 \times S[/tex]

[tex]S = 217 \div 4[/tex]

[tex]S = \boxed {54.25 ~ \texttt{cm}}[/tex]
