Step-by-step explanation:
Hey dear!!
__________________________________________
Diagonals of the rhombus = 30cm, 40cm
Since the diagonals intersect each other in the centre of the rhombus, they create 4 right angles.
So, we need to divide the diagonals by 2 in order to get the base and height of one right angle.
30/2 = 15cm
40/2 = 20cm
So, the height and base of the rhombus is 15cm and 20cm.
Now, using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find out the length of the hypotenuse that is the side of the rhombus.
The Pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the squares of the base and height in a 'right-angled triangle' is equal to the square on the hypotenuse.
So,
(s)^2 = (20)^2 + (15)^2
(s)^2 = 400 + 225
(s)^2 = 625
s = (625)^2
s = 25cm
Therefore, perimeter of the rhombus = 4 × s
= 4 × 25
= 100 cm
Therefore, the perimeter of the rhombus is 100 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let rhombus ABCD be the rhombus with diagonals AC = 60 CM and DB = 30 CM
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other, thus giving us four right triangles and splitting each diagonal in half.
In triangle AOB,
By Pythagoras theorem (since angle AOB is 90°),
AB² = AO² + BO²
AB² = 30² + 15²
= 900 + 225
AB = √1125
= 33.5 CM
Perimeter of rhombus
P = 4a
= 4 × 33.5
= 134 CM
