The diagonals of a rhombus are 16 cm and 12 cm find the length of the side.
20cm
8cm
14cm
10cm
Correct answer is D
In a rhombus, the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other, and they bisect the angles of the rhombus. This means that a rhombus is essentially made up of four congruent right-angled triangles.
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of one side of the rhombus (s)
s2=82+62
s2=64+36
s2=100
s = √100
s =10 cm
So, the length of each side of the rhombus is 10 cm.
