If the length of two diagonals of a rhombus are 24 cm and 10 cm, the perimeter of rhombus is
- a.13 cm
- b.26 cm
- c.52 cm
- d.25 cm
Answer: (C) 52 cm
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, so each side is $\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = 13$ cm. The perimeter is 4 × 13 = 52 cm. 13 cm is just one side.
