We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect at right angles.

Let A B CD be the rhombus and AC and B D bisect at O.

A O=16/2=8 CM

BO=12/2=6 CM

In right angled △AOB

AB2=AO2+BO2

=82+62=82+62

AB2=64+36=100

AB=√100=10cm

I think this will help you.

Let ABCD be the rhombus, where diagonal
AC = 12cm and BD = 16cm

We know that diagonal of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
AO = 6cm, BO = 8cm

By Pythagoras theorm -
AB^2 = AO^2 + BO^2
AB^2 = 6^2 + 8^2
AB^2 = 36 + 64
AB^2 = 100
AB = √100
AB = 10

The length of each of it's sides is 10cm.

Mark me brainliest and thank.
