Step 1
<u>Find the value of s</u>
we know that
In a Rhombus all sides are congruent
so
equate AB and CD
Combine like term
<u>The answer Part a) is</u>
the value of s is
Step 2
<u>Find the value of side AB</u>
substitute the value of s
Remember that the sides are congruent
therefore
<u>the answer Part b) is</u>
The length of the side BC is
Given:
Point F,G,H are midpoints of the sides of the triangle CDE.
To find:
The perimeter of the triangle CDE.
Solution:
According to the triangle mid-segment theorem, the length of the mid-segment of a triangle is always half of the base of the triangle.
FG is mid-segment and DE is base. So, by using triangle mid-segment theorem, we get
GH is mid-segment and CE is base. So, by using triangle mid-segment theorem, we get
Now, the perimeter of the triangle CDE is:
Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle CDE is 56 units.
