Practicing Success
If the length of diagonals of a rhombus are 10 cm and 24 cm then the side of the rhombus is. |
26 cm 24 cm 13 cm 12 cm |
13 cm |
As per the above figture: Diagonals are AC and DB ATQ, AC = 10cm, DB = 24cm Note: In rhombus, Diagonals are always bisect each other at right angle. O is the intersecting point of two diagonals, which bisects the diagonals at right angle. Thus, AO = 5 cm, DO = 12cm In ΔAOD (right angle triangle): ⇒ $AO^2 + OD^2 = AD^2$ $25 + 144 = AD^2$ AD = Side of rhombus = $\sqrt{169} = 13$ cm |
