If two consecutive sides of a rhombus are represented by 3x-6 and x+14 , then the perimeter of rhombus is
Answers
Now, because its a rhombus all sides of it are equal.
By the problem,
3x-6=x+14
2x=20
x=10
Perimeter of rhombus- 4a (a=side of rhombus)
4*10=40 units
The perimeter of the rhombus is 96 unit
Given :
Two consecutive sides of a rhombus are represented by 3x - 6 and x + 14
To find :
The perimeter of the rhombus
Solution :
Step 1 of 3 :
Find the value of x
Here it is given that two consecutive sides of a rhombus are represented by 3x - 6 and x + 14
Since all sides of a rhombus are equal in length
Thus we get
3x - 6 = x + 14
⇒ 3x - x = 6 + 14
⇒ 2x = 20
⇒ x = 10
The value of x = 10
Step 2 of 3 :
Find side of rhombus
Length of each side
= 3x - 6 unit
= ( 3 × 10 ) - 6 unit
= 30 - 6 unit
= 24 unit
Step 3 of 3 :
Find perimeter of the rhombus
Hence perimeter of the rhombus
= 4 × Length of each side
= 4 × 24 unit
= 96 unit
