One property of the diagonals of a rhombus is that they are perpendicular bisectors of each other. So 4 congruent right triangles will be formed when you draw the two diagonals. Considering one right triangle, we can solve for the two sides by dividing them by 2. 24 ft/ 2 = 12 ft 18 ft/ 2 = 9 ft
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can now solve for the hypotenuse which is the side of the rhombus. side = √(12²+9²) = 15 ft
We can set up an equation to find the answer. 21/x=0.35/1 because we're trying to find how many starbursts make up 100% of the package. So then to solve, we take 21x1 and then divide that by 0.35. From this we find that x=60.
