RSTV is a Rhombus. RT = 16cm and SV = 12cm. Find the perimeter of the rhombus below

3 answers

To solve the problem you mus apply the folllowing proccedure:

1. You have that the rhombus RSTV is RT = 16 cm and SV = 12cm. Therefore, to calculate the area you must apply the formula for calculate the area of a rhombus, as below:

A=(RT)(SV)/2

2. Therefore, when you susbtitute the values of RT and SV into the formula shown above, you obtain the the area of the rhombus is:

A=(16 cm)(12 cm)/2
A=96 cm²

3. Then, as you can see, the answer is:

The area of the rhombus is 96 cm².

The diagonals are perpendicular, and bisect each other. So they divide the rhombus into four congruent right triangles, each with hypotenuse = 10.
So the perimeter is 4*10 = 40
