The diagonals of a rhombus are 16 cm and 30 cmfind the length of its sides pls show the solution?
Rashmipaw
Please note that the diagonals cross one another at right angles, and bisect one another. You should draw a diagram to visualize this. From this center point, where the diagonals cross, you have a RIGHT TRIANGLE that involves half of one diagonal, half of the other diagonal, and one of the sides of the rhombus. This lets you use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of the side.

Are the diagonals of a rhombus perpendicular and bisect each other?
Yes, they are perpendicular and intersect at their midpoints. The difference between diagonals in a rhombus as opposed to a rectangle or square is that the diagonals are not of equal length.
Which is the best classification for a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals?
It is a rhombus. All four sides have the same length and the diagonals are therefore perpendicular.
What is the rhombus of a with diagonals of 10 ft and 12 ft?
It is a rhombus with sides of length sqrt(61) feet = approx 7.8 feet.
If the diagonals of a rhombus are 10 cm and 24 cm then the length of each side of the rhombus is 26 cm Always Sometimes Never?
always
A quadrilateral with equal diagonals and no right angles?
An isosceles trapezoid will have diagonals of equal length but will never contain right angles by definition. A square and rectangle will have diagonals of equal length but will contain 4 right angles. A rhombus and any other parallelogram that does not contain right angles will not have diagonals of equal length.
Is the diagonals of rhombus congruent?
"Congruent" isn't used to describe the diagonals of a rhombus. However, all four sides of a rhombus are congruent - they are all the same length.The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other. They are not the same length - if the diagonals were the same length, then you would have a square.
Does a rhombus have equal length?
The answer depends on which aspect of a rhombus. Its sides are of equal length but its diagonals are NOT!
What is the relationship between diagonals on a rhombus?
Not in general. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal length. A rhombus that is also a rectangle would be a square.
Why do the diagonals of a rhombus not have to be the same length?
The sides of a rhombus must all be the same length, but the angles do not need to be the same. The result is a diamond shape where the diagonals can be two different lengths.
Which quadrilateral has All sides are the same length the diagonals are not equal in length?
rhombus
Are the diagonals of a rhombus perpendicular and bisect each other?
Yes, they are perpendicular and intersect at their midpoints. The difference between diagonals in a rhombus as opposed to a rectangle or square is that the diagonals are not of equal length.
What can you find about the diagonals of a rhombus?
The diagonals are not equal in length but thet bisect each other at 90 degrees
What is a parallelogram with diagonals of different length intersecting at right angles?
A rhombus.
What is the ratio of the length of diagonals of a rhombus?
They are the same length, so 1:1 * * * * * In fact that is the one ratio they cannot be. A rhombus with equal diagonals is a square. The ratio of the lengths can have any other positive value.
What polygons always have congruent diagonals?
Regular polygons. A square and rectangle will have congruent (equal length) diagonals.
What is the length of one side of the rhombus if the diagonals of a rhombus have lengths of 12 centimeters and 16 centimeters?
Since the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular and bisect each other, then we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the side of the rhombus. So in the right triangle, whose length of the legs are 6 and 8 centimeters, the hypotenuse length (the length of the side of the rhombus) is √(62 + 82) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10 cm.
Does a prallelogram have to have diagonals the same length?
In general, the diagonals of a parallelogram are NOT the same length. They're equalonly when the parallelogram is either a rectangle or a rhombus (including square).
