  1. The perimeter of a rhombus is 40 cm. If one of the diagonals be 12cm long, what is the length of the other diagonal ?
    1. 12 cm
    2. 136 cm
    3. 16 cm
    4. 44 cm
Correct Option: C

Using Rule 12, 4 × side = 40 cm [given]

⇒ Side =
40
= 10 cm.
4


In ∆AOB,
OB = √(10)² - (6)²
= √100 - 36 = √64 = 8 cm
∴ Diagonal BD = 8 × 2 = 16 cm
