Question

If the diagonal of a rhombus are 18 cm and 24 cm respectively, then its side is equal to: *



a .15 cm

b.16 cm

c.20 cm

​

$\begin{gathered}\small\green{{{\fcolorbox{lightgreen} {lightgreen}{ {☑verified \: answer}}}}}\\\end{gathered}$$\green{\fcolorbox{green}{red}{\large{\fcolorbox{blue}{lime}{{\fcolorbox{white}{white}{☑verified answer✯}}}}}}$${\huge{\red{\boxed{\green{\boxed{\blue{\boxed{\orange{\boxed{\pink{\boxed{\mathcal\purple{₳₦₴₩ɆⱤ}}}}}}}}}}}}}$$\pink{▬▬▬}$$\red{▬▬▬}$$\green{▬▬▬}$$\blue{▬▬▬}$$\orange{▬▬▬}$

if we half the diagonal 18 and 24 we will get 9 and 12

so by Pythagoras theorem we get,

h² = p² + b²

h² = 9² + 12²

h² = 225

h = 15

therefore length of 1 side of the rhombus = 15 cm

since in a rhombus all the sides are equal therefore 15 cm is the length of all the sides.
