The side of a rhombus whose diagonals are 16 cm and 12 cm respectively, is

A) 14 cm
B) 12 cm
C) 10 cm
D) 8 cm

Correct Answer:



C) 10 cm

Description for Correct answer:

Given : \( \Large d_{1}=16\ cm,\ d_{2}=12\ cm \)

Side of rhombus = \( \Large \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{d^{2}_{1}+d^{2}_{2}} \)

= \( \Large \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{16^{2}+12^{2}} \)

= \( \Large \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{400} \)

= \( \Large \frac{1}{2} \times 20 = 10\ cm \)
