Diagonal 6cm = 3cm + 3cm = legs of right triangle within rhombus.
Diagonal 8cm = 4cm + 4cm = legs of right triangle within rhombus.
We need to find the side of the rhombus using the Pythagorean Theorem.
After that, we use the formula P = 4s to find your perimeter.
Let s = side of rhombus.
3^2 + 4^2 = s^2
9 + 16 = s^2
25 = s^2
5 = s
Therefore,
The side of rhombus is 5cm☺️✌️

D1 = 6 cm
D2 = 8 cm
Side of rhombus = sqrt [ (D1 /2)^2 + (D2 / 2)^2]
= sqrt [ (6/2)^2 + (8/2)^2]
= sqrt [ 3^2 + 4^2]
= sqrt ( 9 + 16)
= sqrt (25)
= 5 cm
Side of rhombus = 5 cm
D2 = 8 cm
Side of rhombus = sqrt [ (D1 /2)^2 + (D2 / 2)^2]
= sqrt [ (6/2)^2 + (8/2)^2]
= sqrt [ 3^2 + 4^2]
= sqrt ( 9 + 16)
= sqrt (25)
= 5 cm
Side of rhombus = 5 cm
