Question

EFGH is a rhombus. Rhombus E F G H is shown. Diagonals are drawn from point E to point G and from point F to point H. All sides are congruent. Given EG = 16 and FH = 12, what is the length of one side of the rhombus? 6 units 8 units 10 units 14 units

Answer 1

answer is C. 10 units. Just took the test

Explanation:

Answer 2

10 units

Explanation:

The diagnonals of a rhombus meet at right angle to their selves and bisect each other.

So one quarter will form a right angle triangle of base 6 and height 8.

Let The length of one side of the rhombus be x

X²= 8²+6²

X²= 64+36

X²= 100

X= √100

X= 10 units
