The triangle inequality tells us that the sum of the two shorter sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side.

Here, 21 cm is one of the shorter sides, and x cm must be the length of the other shorter side.

So using the triangle inequality, 
21+x > 2x
or x<21 cm
To the nearest 0.1 cm, the greatest possible length of the longest side (2x) is 2*21-0.1 cm = 41.9 cm < 2x=42 cm.

EG and FH are diagonals of the rhombus and the bisect each other at the centre to for a righ angle triangle with the side of the rhombus as the hypothenus.
By pythagoras theorem, length = \sqrt{ 8^{2} + 6^{2} } = \sqrt{64+36} = \sqrt{100} =10 \ units
