In a rhombus the diagonals are 12cm and 16cm. Find the perimeter of rhombus
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Question:-
The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 16cm and 12cm. then find the length of the side of rhombus
Solution:-
we know that diagonal of rhombus,bisect each other in right angle ( 90° ).
we also know that all sides of rhombus are equal ( of equal length ).
so, now
Let rhombus is ABCD and
Diagonal of rhombus are
BD = 16 cm and AC = 12 cm
means,
OD = 8 cm and AO = 6 cm
By pythagorus theorem
To find length of AD ( and all side of rhombus )
=> (AD)² = (OD)² + (AO)²
=> (AD)² = (8)² + (6)²
=> (AD)² = 64 + 36
=> (AD)² = 100
=> AD = √100
=> AD = 10 cm
=>Perimeter of rhombus = 4 × ( side )
=>Perimeter of rhombus = 4 × 10
=>Perimeter of rhombus = 40 cm
Hence length of all side of rhombus
is 10 cm and perimeter of rhombus is 40 cm.
i hope it helps you.
