Find the side $ a $ of a rhombus if diagonal $d_1 = 30$ and diagonal $d_2 = 29$.
Answer
$a = \frac{\sqrt{ 1741 }}{ 2 }$
Explanation
To find side $ a $ use formula:
$$ d_1^2 + d_2^2 = 4 \cdot a^2 $$After substituting $ d_1 = 30 $ and $ d_2 = 29 $ we have:
$$ 30^2 + 29^2 = 4 \cdot a^2 $$ $$ 900 + 841 = 4 \cdot a^2 $$ $$ 4 \cdot a^2 = 1741 $$ $$ a^2 = \frac{ 1741 }{ 4 } $$ $$ a^2 = \frac{ 1741 }{ 4 } $$ $$ a = \sqrt{ \frac{ 1741 }{ 4 } } $$$$ a = \frac{\sqrt{ 1741 }}{ 2 } $$This page was created using
