Question

the quadrilateral shown is a rhombus. if ab = 17 and ae = 8, what is the measure of ac?
image of rhombus abcd with diagonals intersecting at e

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rhombus diagonal property

In a rhombus, diagonals bisect each other, so $AC = 2 \times AE$.

Step2: Substitute given value

Substitute $AE = 8$ into the formula:
$AC = 2 \times 8$

Answer:

16
