Question

Can someone help me find the length of the other diagonal ??

Answer 1

Remember that

the area of a rhombus is equal to

`A=(1)/(2)\cdot(D1\cdot D2)`

where

D1 and D2 are the diagonals

substitute the given values

`59.5=(1)/(2)\cdot(14\cdot D2)`

solve for D2

`\begin{gathered} 119=14\cdot D2 \\ D2=(119)/(14) \\ D2=8.5\text{ in} \end{gathered}`

answer is 8.5 in
