Question

a rhombus with a perimeter of 60 in has a side with a length of (8x) n find x A) x=1.5 B) x=1.875 C)x=2.25 D) x=3.75

Answer 1

The value of 'x' in this problem was determined to be 1.875 based on the perimeter of the rhombus and the length of each side.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to find the value of 'x' in a rhombus given that each side of the rhombus is 8x and the total perimeter of this rhombus is 60 inches. Since a rhombus has all sides of equal length, we can set up the equation 8x * 4 (the number of sides) = 60 (the total perimeter). Solving this equation, we divide both sides by 4, giving us 8x = 15. Then, we divide again by 8 to solve for 'x'. We find that x = 1.875, which matches option B in your list.
