The diagonals of a rhombus measure 16 cm and 30 cm. Find its perimeter.

बेरीज

उत्तर

Let ABCD be a rhombus (all sides are of equal length) and its diagonals, AC and BD, are intersecting each other at point O. Diagonals in a rhombus bisect each other at 90°. It can be observed that

AO = `(AC)/2`

= `16/2`

= 8 cm

BO = `(BD)/2`

= `30/2`

= 15 cm

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔAOB,

OA2 + OB2 = AB2

82 + 152 = AB2

64 + 225 = AB2

289 = AB2

AB = 17

Therefore, the length of the side of rhombus is 17 cm.

Perimeter of rhombus = 4 × Side of the rhombus

= 4 × 17

= 68 cm
