Answer» Option b Step-by-step explanation: GIVEN:-In a rhombus, the length of the two diagonals are 3 meters and 4 meters respectively. To find:-Find its PERIMETER? Solution:-The lengths of the two diagonals are 3 m and 4 m Consider a ABCD rhombus AC = 3m and BD = 4 m We know that The diagonals bisect to each other at 90° AO = OC AO = AC/2 = 3/2 CM = 1.5 m BO=OD BD = BO/2 = 4/2 = 2 m ∆AOB is a right angled triangle By Pythagoras THEOREM: The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides =>AB^2 = AO^2+OB^2 =>AB^2 = (1.5)^2+2^2 =>AB^2 = 2.25 +4 =>AB^2 = 6.25 =>AB=√6.25 =>AB=2.5 m The length of the side=2.5 m We know that All sides are equal in a rhombus =>AB=BC=CD=DA=2.5m Perimeter of a rhombus = Sum of all sides =>Perimeter=4×length of its side =>P=4×2.5m =>P=10 m Answer:-Perimeter of the given rhombus is 10 m Used formulae:-
The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides
