Answer:

10

Explanation:

We know that bisectors EG = 16 and FH = 12. If we want to find one side of the rhombus, we have to cut the bisectors in half. The new values would be 8 and 6. Since we don't know the value of the one side of the rhombus, we'll call it x. The equation is to solve for x is:

8^2 + 6^2 = x^2

64 + 36 = x^2

100 = x^2

10 = x

This means that the length of one side of the rhombus is 10 units.
