Answer:
PERIMETER OF RHOMBUS=4*SIDE
40=4*SIDE
SIDE=10CM
3:4=D1: D2
6:8=D1:D2
LET COMMON MULTIPLE BE X
D1=6X
D2=8X
DIAGONAL OF RHOMBUS BISECTS EACH OTHER
1/2D1=3X
1/2D2=4X
DIAGONALS OF RHOMBUS BISECT EACH OTHER AT RIGHT ANGLE
BY PYTHAGORAS THEOREM
SIDE²=(1/2D1)²+(1/2D2)²
10²=(3X)²+(4X)²
100=9X²+16X²
100=25X²
X²=100/25
X²=4
TAKE A SQUARE ROOT ON BOTH SIDE
X=2
D1=6X=6*2=12CM
D2=8X=8*2=16CM
