In rhombus ABCD, points E,F,G, and H are the midpoints of lines AB,BC,CD, and DA respectively.
Quadrilateral EFGH has area 14 and perimeter 16.
Find the side length for rhombus ABCD.

 

Let EF = x Let EH = y The side length for rhombus =AB=BC=CD=DA=HF = s 

 

1.xy=14y=14x2.2(x+y)=16x+y=8|y=14xx+14x=8|xx2+14=8xx28x+14=0x=8±644142x=8±4(1614)2x=8±216142x=8±222x=4±2x=42x+y=8|x=4242+y=8y=8(42)y=84+2)y=4+2
