Answer 1

The answer on edginuity is C. 10 units

Answer 2

EG and FH are diagonals of the rhombus and the bisect each other at the centre to for a righ angle triangle with the side of the rhombus as the hypothenus.
By pythagoras theorem,
`length = \sqrt{ 8^(2) + 6^(2) } = √(64+36) = √(100) =10 \ units`
