The diagonals of a rhombus are 24 cm and 32 cm, then perimeter is?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2

The diagonal of a rhombus bisect each other perpendicularly.
Therefore, in Δ AOB:
⇒\(\angle\)AOB = 90°,
AO = \(\frac{AC}{2}\) = 12 and
BO = \(\frac{BD}{2}\) = 16
So,
⇒ AB2 = OA2 + OB2
⇒ AB2 = (12)2 + (16)2
⇒ AB2 = 144 + 256 = 400
⇒ AB = 20
⇒ Perimeter = 4 × side = 4 × 20 = 80 cm
