The diagonals of the rhombus ABCD intersect at point O. BD = 16cm, OC = 6cm.

The diagonals of the rhombus ABCD intersect at point O. BD = 16cm, OC = 6cm. Calculate the length of the side of the rhombus.

As we know from the existing school curriculum, the diagonals of the rhombus are divided by sex when they intersect.

Let us determine through what number of centimeters it is possible to express the length of the OB, if we know from the condition of the task that the length of BD is sixteen centimeters:

16: 2 = 8.

As we know from the existing school curriculum, the diagonals of the rhombus are perpendicular.

Let us determine through what number of centimeters it is possible to express the length of the rhombus side:

√ (8 ^ 2 + 6 ^ 2) = √ (64 + 36) = √100 = 10.

Answer: 10 centimeters.
