the diagonal of a rhombus are 16m and 12m find its length of its side
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
we have sides of the rhombus d1= 16 cm and d2 = 12 cm
So to find side of rhombus s = (√d1^2 + d2 ^2) / 2
= (√ 16^2 + 12^2) /2
= (√256+144)/2
= √400/2
=20/2
= 10 cm
Answer:
suppose ABCD is a rhombus Diagonal AC=16cm and BD=12cm
Now, we have to find the side of rhombus
In rhombus Diagonal AC And BD intersect at O , and bisects each other at 90°.
so, we have
AO=OC. (Diagonal bisect each other in equal part)
AC=AO+CO
AC=16cm (given)
16cm=OA+OA
2OA=16cm
OA=16/2
OA=8cm
similarly OB =6cm
Now in Triangle AOB
OA=8cm, OB=6cm
OA =Base , OB =Perpendicular
AB=hypotenus
Hypotenus=√perpendicular square +base square
AB=√OAsquare+OB square
AB=√8^2+6^2
AB=√64+36
AB=√100
AB=10cm
similarly AB=BC=CD=DA (side of a rhombus are equal)
so side of a rhombus is 10 cm.
