Answer:

148 inches

Explanation:

1. You would want to split the rhombus into 4 right triangles.

2. You know two sides of the right triangles (One side would be 12 inches and the other 35) Knowing that you would use the Pythagorean theorem.

3. 35^{2}+12^{2}=c^{2}

4. Solve: 1225 + 144 = 1369

5. The square root of 1369 is 37

6. Multiply 37 x 4 (For all the sides of your triangles)

7. 148 inches
