if both diagonals are of 16 and 12.. then half diagonal are 8cm and 6cm.. and diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angle.. so a part of a rhombus will be a right angle. So hypotenuse of that triangle will be the side of rhombus..
(So side of rhombus)²= 6²+8²(By using Pythagoras theorem)
=√(36+64)
=10 centimetres!
Hope it Helps!

Question:-
The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 16cm and 12cm. then find the length of the side of rhombus
Solution:-
we know that diagonal of rhombus,bisect each other in right angle ( 90° ).
we also know that all sides of rhombus are equal ( of equal length ).
so, now
Let rhombus is ABCD
Let, diagonal of rhombus
BD = 16 cm and AC = 12 cm
means,
OD = 8 cm and AO = 6 cm
By pythagorus theorem
To find length of AD ( and all side of rhombus )
=> (AD)² = (OD)² + (AO)²
=> (AD)² = (8)² + (6)²
=> (AD)² = 64 + 36
=> (AD)² = 100
=> AD = √100
=> AD = 10 cm
Hence length of all side of rhombus
is 10 cm.
i hope it helps you.
