Question

The diagonals of a rhombus are 16 cm and 30 cm. Find the length of the side of the rhombus.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of Side of Rhombus is 17 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, imagine that there is a parallelogram with AB and CD

So

AC=16cm

BD=30cm

So they bisect each other at point o.

AO=OC=16÷2=8cm

BO=OD=30÷2=15cm

So we will solve it by pythagoras theorem.

(ΑΒ)²=15²+8²

=224+64

=289

Now do the square root

$289cm \\ \\ = \sqrt{289} \\ \\ = \sqrt{17 \times 17} \\ \\ = 17cm$
