Answer:

Length = 4.88

Explanation:

Given


MR = 6.8cm


AS = 7cm

First, we calculate the lengths of each side of the rhombus.

Diagonals of a rhombus are bisected at right-angled.

So, the lengths (x,y) of the right-angled triangle formed are:


x = (1)/(2)MR = (1)/(2) * 6.8 = 3.4


y = (1)/(2)AS = (1)/(2) * 7 = 3.5

The length of the sides (z) is calculated using:


z^2 = x^2 + y^2


z^2 = 3.4^2 + 3.5^2


z^2 = 11.56 + 12.25


z^2 = 23.81

Take square roots


z = \sqrt{23.81


z = 4.88 --- approximated
