Q3 of 22 Page 258

The length of the diagonal of a rhombus is 30 cm and 40 cm. Find the side of a rhombus.

As diagonals of a rhombus are equal and cut each other at right angle.


using Pythagoras theorem:


AD2 = AO2 + OD2



AD2 = 152 + 202


AD2 = 225 + 400


AD2 = 625


AD = √625


AD = 25 cm


So, side of the rhombus is 25 cm.
