Answer:
Choice D, 20 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythaogorean theorem tells us that the hypotenuse of a triangle, c, can be found by taking: c = [tex]\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2}}[/tex]. In this case, a = 3 and b = 4. So:
c = [tex]\sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2} }[/tex]
c = [tex]\sqrt{3^{2} + 4^{2} }[/tex]
c = [tex]\sqrt{9 + 16}[/tex]
c = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex]
c = 5
The sides of a rhombus are all equal. Given that one side is equal to 5, we can simply multiply 5 by 4 to get 20. The perimeter is 20 inches.
