Answer:
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect at right angles. That means half the diagonals form a right angle triangle then we can try the Pythagorean theorem. so -
one side of triangle = 6/2 =3 (half of the diagonal)
other side = 8/2 = 4
a^2 + b^2 = c2
3 ^2 + 4^2 = c^2
9+16 = c^2
c^2=25
c = = 5
the hypothenus forms one side of the rhombus and here the hypothenus is 5, so the lenght of a side is 5 !
Answer: Choice B)
We have some value m and we're squaring it to get
To undo this and isolate m, we apply the square root to both sides
There are two solutions here. This is similar to how there are two solutions in something like (those two solutions being x = 5 and x = -5). Squaring any negative number leads to a positive result because
negative times negative = positive.
