Answer:
8 meters or 4 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that for finding the area of a rhombus, there are two diagonal sides: one of which is 12.5 meters in length and the other one we'll assume to be y.
Then, we can write:
Area of rhombus = [tex]\frac{1}{2} *12.5*y[/tex]
[tex]50=\frac{1}{2} *12.5*y[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{100}{12.5}[/tex]
[tex]y=8[/tex] meters
If the sides of the rhombus are not internally diagonal, then we can simply use the following formula:
Area of rhombus = altitude * side
[tex]50=a*12.5[/tex]
[tex]a=4[/tex] meters
