Question

Timothy has a fenced-in garden in the shape of a rhombus. The length of the longer diagonal is 24 feet, and the length of the shorter diagonal is 18 feet. A rhombus is shown. Diagonals are drawn from each point to the opposite point and intersect at a point in the middle. The distance from the top point to the middle point is 12 feet. The distance from the right point to the middle point is 9 feet. What is the length of one side of the fenced-in garden? 12 ft 15 ft 21 ft 108 ft

Answer 1

i got b!

Explanation:

15 feet (:

Answer 2

Answer: b) 15 ft

Explanation:

The diagonals intersect at a right angle (one of the properties of a rhombus).

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the side.

9² + 12² = c²

81 + 144 = c²

225 = c²

15 = c
