Answer:

  • TR = 3 cm
  • SQ = 8 cm
  • SR = 5 cm
  • ∠PTS = 90°

Explanation:

You want various segment lengths and the central angle in a rhombus with side length 5 cm, one diagonal of length 6 cm, and the other half-diagonal of length 4 cm.

Rhombus

The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other. The central angle(s) is a right angle. The halves of a diagonal are the same length. Of course, all sides of the rhombus are the same length.

  • TR = 3 cm . . . . = PR/2
  • SQ = 8 cm . . . . = 2×ST
  • SR = 5 cm . . . . = QR
  • ∠PTS = 90°
