The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 16 cm and 12 cm. The length of each side of the rhombus is

Let us assume a rhombus ABCD where,

AB = BC = CD = DA


Now, in triangle OBC by using Pythagoras theorem we get:


BC2 = OB2 + OC2


BC2 = 62 + 82


BC2 = 36 + 64


BC2 = 100


BC = √100


BC = 10 cm


∴ AB = BC = CD = DA = 10 cm


Hence, option (A) is correct
