Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 40 cm

Given:

The length of the arms of a rhombus is 16 cm and 12 cm.

Concept Used:

If the length of the diagonals of a rhombus are d1 and d2 then the sides of the rhombus is (1/2) × √(d12 + d22)

The perimeter of a rhombus is (4 × Length of the side of the rhombus)

Calculation:

Here d1 = 16 cm

and d2 = 12 cm

The length of the sides of the rhombus is (1/2) × √(122 + 162)

⇒ (1/2) × √(144 + 256)

⇒ (1/2) × 20

⇒ 10

The perimeter of the rhombus is 4 × 10 = 40 cm

∴ The perimeter of the rhombus is 40 cm.

 Length of arms means the length of diagonals.
