Answer:
Its perimeter is 104cm
Perimeter =4xside=104
=> side =26cm
The diagonals of a rhombus are in the ratio 5:12.
Let diagonals are 5x and 12x
Diagonals of rhombus are perpendicular to each other, so by applying Pythagoras theorem
=> a

5x
)
2
+(
2
12x
)

=> 26

169x
2
=> x=4
Diagonals are 5x=20cm and 12x=48cm
