Take a few minutes to interact with the GeoGebra applet below. [br]After doing so, please answer the questions that follow. [br][b][br]Note:[/b][br][b][color=#ff00ff]The pink slider controls the size of the angle with pink vertex. [/color][/b]
When the triangular sections of the rhombus have been rearranged, what shape has been created?
Suppose, in the applet above, the segment with single-tick label has a length of 3 cm. Suppose the segment with the double-tick label has a length of 8 cm. What would the length and width of the shape be?
Watch the video below that summarises what you have just shown using the applet.
The longer diagonal of a rhombus is 10 cm and the shorter diagonal is 6 cm. What will be the length and width of the rectangle that could be created using the method above?
Suppose a rhombus has diagonal lengths labeled [math]d_1[/math] and [math]d_2[/math]. Write an expression for the area of this rhombus in terms of [math]d_1[/math] & [math]d_2[/math].
