Question:
If the lengths of the diagonals of rhombus are 16 cm and 12 cm. Then, the length of the sides of the rhombus is
(a) 9 cm
(b) 10 cm
(c) 8 cm
(d) 20 cm
Solution:
(b) We know that, the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisector of each other.
Given, AC = 16 cm and BD = 12 cm [let]
∴ AO = 8cm, SO = 6cm
and ∠AOB = 90°
In right angled ∠AOB,
