The diagonals of a rhombus are 16 cm and 12cm. find its length
1 answer:
Answer:
l=10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
In a rhombus, the diagonals are cut into identical lines at the intersection.
This way, I found the measures of the halves of the diagonals in a right triangle, knowing that the diagonals of the rhombus are perpendicular on each other.
I calculated that AO = AC/2= 8, and that BO=BD/2= 6, and then I applied pytagora's theorem in a quarter of the rhombus, which is the right triangle AOB, to find the length of a side
