The area of the rhombus is 540 cm2; the length of one of its diagonals is 4.5 dm. what is the distance between the point of intersection of the diagonals and the side of the rhombus?

Given: Area of rhombus is 540 square cm and the length of one of its diagonals is 4.5 dm

To find the other diagonal of the rhombus:

Using formula of Area of rhombus:

Area of rhombus(A) =  ......[1]; where are the diagonals and A is the area of rhombus respectively.

Use conversion:

1 dm = 10 cm

then;

4.5 dm = cm

Substitute the value of A = 540 square cm and in [1] we have;

or

Divide by 45 both sides we get;

The distance between the point of intersection of the diagonals and the side of the rhombus :

The line perpendicular to the rhombus side i,e x the altitude to the hypotenuse of one of those right triangles.

The length x of such an altitude in a right triangle with leg lengths  and can be found from:

then:

or

or

Simplify:

x ≈ 10.59

Therefore, the distance between the point of intersection of the diagonals and the side of the rhombus is, 10.59 cm

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

retail price is $16.
