A rhombus is a geometrical figure wherein the diagonals intersect making a right angle. Given that the sides of the formed triangles from the intersection are 12 and 5, calculate the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem.
c^2 = 12^2 + 5^2
where c is the length of hypotenuse. c then is 13. The hypotenuse is also the measure of four equal sides of the rhombus. Multiply this value by 4 to obtain the perimeter. Thus, the perimeter of the rhombus is 52 units.
