Answer:
10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a rhombus of any random side length. You will observe sum of squares of half of side is equal to the square of side.
Sides of rhombus bisect each other at 90°. Using Pythagoras theorem
=> (1/2 of 1st dia.)² + (1/2 of 2nd dia.)² = side²
=> (1/2 of 16)² + (1/2 of 12)² = side²
=> (8)² + (6)² = side²
=> 100 = side²
=> √100 = 10 = side
Length of side is 10 cm
