Given:

The perimeter of a rhombus of side d cm  is

[tex]p=4d[/tex]

To find:

The perimeter of a rhombus of  side 3.2 cm.

Find the length of a side of a rhombus  of perimeter 14 cm.

Solution:

Side of a rhombus is 3.2 cm. So, its perimeter is

[tex]p=4(3.2)[/tex]

[tex]p=12.8[/tex]

Therefore, the perimeter of a rhombus of  side 3.2 cm is 12.8 cm.

The perimeter of another rhombus is 14 cm, and we need find its side.

[tex]p=4d[/tex]

[tex]14=4d[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4.

[tex]\dfrac{14}{4}=d[/tex]

[tex]3.5=d[/tex]

Therefore, the length of a side of a rhombus  of perimeter 14 cm is 3.5 cm.
