Question

The diagonals of a rhombus are 8cm and 6cm.Find the lenght of the side of rhombus.

Answer 1

Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a rhombus meet at right angles (the four triangles are congruent by SSS rule).

So each triangle is a right angle triangle with leg lengths:

6cm / 2 = 3cm

and

8cm / 2 = 4cm.

By Pythagoras' Theorem, the other side of the triangle, which is a side of the rhombus, is 5cm.

Answer 2

The answer will be 5 cm
