Answer:

$P=4x\sqrt{26}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The sides of a rhombus are all congruent and the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

where

c is the length side of the rhombus

a and b are the semi-diagonals

we have

$a=2x/2=x\ units\\b=10x/2=5x\ units$

substitute the values

$c^2=x^2+(5x)^2$

$c^2=26x^2$

$c=x\sqrt{26}\ units$

To find out the perimeter of the rhombus multiply the length side by 4

$P=(4)(x\sqrt{26})$

$P=4x\sqrt{26}\ units$

Kay [80]

If one square is divided into 9 smaller equal squares, then they have to be arranged in 3 lines of 3, that is 3 smaller equal squares per side of the original big square. That said, the area of the big square is equal to the multiplication of 3 small squares sides times 3 small squares sides, call x the length of the small squares.
So,
area = 9 = 3x*3x
9x^2 = 9
x^2 = 1
x = 1
therefore the smaller squares have sides of 1 unit

$\mathbb P(286$
$\mathbb P(286$

The empirical rule says that approximately 68% of any normal distributed data set lies within one standard deviation of the mean.

$\mathbb P(-2$
$\implies\mathbb P(-2$

The same rule states that about 95% lies within two standard deviations of the mean. Using this rule, and the fact that any normal distribution is symmetric about its mean, you have

$\mathbb P(-2$
$0.95=2\mathbb P(-2$
$\implies\mathbb P(-2$

$\implies\mathbb P(-2$
