Question

the diagonals of a rhombus are 40 cm and 30 cm find the length of each side of the Rhombus

Answer 1

each side of rhombus is 25 cm

Answer 2

$\huge \underline \mathbb {SOLUTION:-}$

As diagonals of a rhombus are equal and cut each other at right angle.

• Figure provided in the above attachment.

Using Pythagoras theorem:

AD² = AO2² + OD²

➠ AD² = (30/2)² + (40/2)²

➠ AD² = 15² + 20²

➠ AD² = 225 + 400

➠ AD² = 625

➠ AD = √625

➠ AD = 25 cm

So, side of the rhombus is 25 cm.
