Question

8. The diagonals of a rhombus measure 16 cm and 30 cm. Find its perimeter
7. Find the perimeter of the reci​

Answer 1

Given: Diagonals AC=30cm and DB=16cm.

Since the diagonals of the rhombus bisect at right angle to each other.

Therefore, OD=

DB

=

16

=8cm

and OC=

2

AC

=

2

30

=15cm

Now, In right angle triangle DOC,

(DC)

2

=(OD)

2

+(CO)

⇒(DC)

2

=(8)

2

+(15)

2

⇒(DC)

=64+225=289

⇒DC=

289

=17cm

Perimeter of the rhombus=4× side

=4×17=68cm

Thus, the perimeter of rhombus is 68 cm.
