Step-by-step solution

Since every pair of opposite sides are equal to each other in a rhombus, we know that:

EF=BC=AD=5 EF=BC=AD=5

FC=EB=3 FC=EB=3

To calculate side AB, we must use the following formula:

AB=AE+EB AB=AE+EB

As we are only given the length of EB, we don't have enough information and cannot calculate the lengths of the other sides.
