Detailed Solution

Given that the diagonals of a rhombus are

12 cm

and

16 cm

As we know that the diagonals bisect each other at right angle in a rhombus.

∴ AO = A C 2 ⇒ AO = 122 ⇒ AO = 6cm Also, BO = B D 2 ⇒ BO = 162 ⇒ BO = 8cm

Now, by applying Pythagoras theorem in

Δ A O B

, we get,

A B 2 = A O 2 + B O 2 ⇒ A B 2 = (6) 2 + (8) 2 ⇒ A B 2 = 36 + 64 ⇒ A B 2 = 100 ⇒ A B = 100 ⇒ A B = 10 cm .

In a rhombus, all the four sides are of equal length each.
So, the length of each side of a rhombus is 10cm.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
