How to Calculate and Solve for the Length and Perimeter of a Rhombus | Nickzom Calculator
Last Updated on February 16, 2024
The image above is a rhombus. To calculate the perimeter of a rhombus, one essential parameter is needed and this parameter is length of side (a).
The formula for calculating the perimeter of a rhombus:
P = 4a
Where;
P = Perimeter of the rhombus
a = length of side
Let’s solve an example;
Find the perimeter of a rhombus when the length of side is 30 cm.
This implies that;
a = Length of side = 30 cm
So, P = 4a
P = 4 x 30
P = 120
Therefore, the perimeter of the rhombus is 120 cm.
Calculating the Length of Side using the Perimeter of the Rhombus
a = P / 4
Where;
a = Length of Side
P = Perimeter of the rhombus
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the perimeter of the rhombus is 180 cm. Find the length of side?
a = P / 4
This implies that;
P = perimeter of the rhombus = 180 cm
a = P / 4
That is, a = 180 / 4
a = 45
Therefore, the length of side is 45 cm.
