Answer:

AC = 24ft

Step by Step Explanation.

Given.

Rhombus.

BD = 24ft

AD = 15ft

Required

Length of AC

A rhombus has 4 equal sides; hence, the given shape will be regarded as a parallelogram and not rhombus (see attachment for diagram)

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are always of equal length

From the attached diagram (not drawn to scale), side AC opposites side BD

Given that BD = 24ft, then

AC = BD = 24ft.

Hence, AC = 24ft

In Rhombus ABCD if BD is 24 ft and AD is 15 ft, then what is the length of AC?-example-1
