Question

The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 18 cm and 24 cm. Then, the length of the side ofthe rhombus is________​

Answer 1

Answer:15cm

Step-by-step explanation:if we half the diagonal 18 and 24 we will get 9 and 12

so by Pythagoras theorem we get,

h² = p² + b²

h² = 9² + 12²

h² = 225

h = 15

Answer 2

Answer:

15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A rhombus is a four sided figure with all sides equal.

We can consider a right triangle with one side hypotenuse and halves of diagonal as base and altitude of right triangle respectively.

diagonal 1, d₁  = 18

            d₁/2   = 18/2 = 9

diagonal 2, d₂ = 24

            d₂/2   = 24/2 = 12

side² = (d₁/2)²+(d₂/2)²

        = 9²+12²

        = 81+144

        = 225

side  =√225

        = 15cm

The length of side is 15cm.
