Question

Rhombus J K L M is shown. The length of J K is 2 x + 4 and the length of J M is 3 x. What is the length of a side of rhombus JKLM? 4 units 8 units 12 units 16 units

Answer 1

12 units

Explanation:

Since all of the sides of a rhombus are congruent, JK = JM which means:

2x + 4 = 3x

-x = -4

x = 4 so 3x = 3 * 4 = 12
