Step-by-step explanation:
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other at 90 degrees (perpendicular bisectors). Therefore, we can use the formula: Hypotenuse^2 = Side^2+Side^2.
6 cm would mean 3 cm on one side and 3 on the other because of the diagonals creating two congruent triangles.
8 cm would mean 4 cm on one side and 4 on the other because diagonals bisect each other.
3^2+4^2=Hypotenuse^2
9+16=25
Square root of 25 = 5
Therefore, the 3rd side is 5 cm.
