Question

JKLM is a rhombus. KM is 20 and JL is 48. Find the perimeter of the rhombus.

Answer 1

Answer:

104 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Rhombus

$JL = 48$

$KM = 20$

Required

Determine the perimeter

The given parameter are the diagonals of the rhombus.

The perimeter (from diagonals) is calculated as thus:

$P = 2\sqrt{(JL)^2 + (KM)^2}$

Substitute values for JL and KM

$P = 2\sqrt{48^2 + 20^2}$

$P = 2\sqrt{2304 +400}$

$P = 2\sqrt{2704}$

$P = 2 * 52$

$P = 104$

Hence, the perimeter is 104 units
