Hint: all four sides of a rhombus are congruent. This allows you to solve for x and hence find the perimeter.

So what would be the answer? :D

5x + 1 = 7x - 11 11 + 1 = 7x - 5x 12 = 2x 6 = x now sub 6 into either 5x + 1 or 7x - 11 to find the measurement of a side 5x + 1 5(6) + 1 31 P = 4s P = 4(31) P = 124 meters
