About Rhombus Perimeter Calculation

What is a Rhombus Perimeter?

The perimeter of a rhombus is the total distance around its exterior. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides, so its perimeter is simply the sum of the lengths of all four sides.

Formula for Rhombus Perimeter

The formula to calculate the perimeter of a rhombus is:

\[P = 4s\]

Where:

• \(P\) is the perimeter of the rhombus
• \(s\) is the length of one side of the rhombus

Calculation Steps

1. Measure or identify the length of one side of the rhombus.
2. Multiply this length by 4.
3. The result is the perimeter of the rhombus.

Example

Let's calculate the perimeter of a rhombus with a side length of 6 units:

1. Given: Side length (\(s\)) = 6 units
2. Apply the formula: \(P = 4s\)
3. Substitute the value: \(P = 4 \times 6\)
4. Calculate: \(P = 24\) units

Visual representation:

Therefore, the perimeter of the rhombus is 24 units.
