Rombus ABCD has an area of 264 square units. If DB =12 units find AC.

To quote one of our very good math and science tutors: “You will find here at Jiskha that long series of questions, posted with no evidence of effort or thought by the person posting, will not be answered. We will gladly respond to your future questions in which your thoughts are included.”

To find the length of AC in a rhombus, you can use the formula for the area of a rhombus, which is given by A = diagonal1 * diagonal2 / 2.

In this case, the area of the rhombus is given as 264 square units, and one diagonal (DB) is given as 12 units. Therefore, we need to calculate the length of the other diagonal (AC).

Let's denote the length of AC as x.

We can rearrange the formula for the area of a rhombus to solve for x:

A = diagonal1 * diagonal2 / 2
264 = 12 * x / 2
264 = 6x
x = 264 / 6
x = 44

So, the length of AC is 44 units.
