Q132 of 160 Page 144

The diagonal of a rhombus is 8cm and 15 cm. Find its side.

Given, the diagram below:


diagonals of a rhombus, d1 = 8cm


d2 = 15cm


Divide d1 and d2 in two equal halves.


We will get four right angled triangles


Now, the base of each triangle would be, d1/2 = 8/2 = 4cm


And perpendicular would be, d2/2 = 15/2 = 7.5cm


Now, we will find the hypotenuse of each right angled


triangle.


Hence, hypotenuse = side of rhombus
