Question

One angle of a rhombus measures 108°, and the shorter diagonal is 9 inches long. Approximately how long is the side of the rhombus?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A rhombus is a four sides quadrilateral with the four sides equal in length

A rhombus has 4 equal sides and the diagonal bisect at right angles

Adjacent sides = 9/2 = 4.5

we are to determine the value of the hypotenuse given the adjacent side and angle (108/2) = 54

Cos 54 = adjacent / hypotenuse

0.58778 = 4.5 / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 4.5 / 0.58778

=7.6559

= 8 inches
