  1. Understand Rhombus Properties: Understand the properties of a rhombus and its diagonals.\newlineA rhombus is a type of polygon that is a quadrilateral with all four sides of equal length. The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles (9090^\circ). This means that each diagonal cuts the other into two equal parts at the center of the rhombus.
  2. Form Right Triangles: Use the properties of the diagonals to form right triangles.\newlineSince the diagonals bisect each other at right angles, we can form four right triangles within the rhombus. Each triangle will have half the length of one diagonal as one leg and half the length of the other diagonal as the other leg.
  3. Calculate Diagonal Halves: Calculate the lengths of the halves of the diagonals.\newlineHalf of EGEG (1616 units) is 16/2=816/2 = 8 units.\newlineHalf of FHFH (1212 units) is 12/2=612/2 = 6 units.\newlineThese are the lengths of the legs of the right triangles formed by the diagonals.
  4. Apply Pythagorean Theorem: Apply the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of one side of the rhombus.\newlineThe Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse cc is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides aa and bb: c2=a2+b2c^2 = a^2 + b^2.\newlineLet's denote the length of one side of the rhombus as ss. Then, using the lengths of the halves of the diagonals as the legs of the right triangles, we have:\newlines2=82+62s^2 = 8^2 + 6^2
  5. Calculate Side Length: Calculate the length of one side of the rhombus.\newlines2=64+36s^2 = 64 + 36\newlines2=100s^2 = 100\newlineTo find ss, we take the square root of both sides of the equation:\newlines=100s = \sqrt{100}\newlines=10s = 10 units
