Answer:
Since it is a rhombus,therefore diagonals bisect each other
AO=CO
BO=DO
In triangle BOC
By pythagoreas theorem...
OB=8 cm
BD=16 cm
Hope it helps...
Answer:
The length of the diagonal BD is 16 cm.
Step-by-step-explanation:
NOTE : Kindly refer to the attachment.
Additional Information:
1. Rhombus:
It's one of the types of quadrilateral.
If all the four sides of a quadrilateral are of equal measures, then the quadrilateral is called as Rhombus.
2. Properties of Rhombus:
1. All sides are of equal measures.
2. Opposite angles of rhombus are congruent.
3. Diagonals of rhombus bisect each other.
4. Diagonals of rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other. [ Diagonals bisect in 90° ]
3. Pythagoras Theorem:
This theorem was given by a mathematician Pythagoras.
This theorem states the relation between hypotenuse and other two sides in a right angled triangle.
Pythagoras Theorem:
( Hypotenuse )² = ( Side one )² + ( Side two )²
