The side of a rhombus is 10cm long, correct to the nearest whole number. Between what limits should the perimeter P lie?

A.

39cm ≤ P ≤41cm

B.

38cm ≤ P < 42cm

C.

38.5 ≤ P ≤ 41.5cm

D.

38.5 ≤ P ≤ 40cm

Correct answer is B

If the side = 10 cm, correct to the nearest whole number, then

The side ranges from 9.5 cm to 10.5 cm. (9.5 s < 10.5)

Perimeter of a rhombus = 4 x side

4 x 9.5 \leq perimeter < 4 x 10.5

= 38 cm \leq P < 42 cm
