If diagonals of a rhombus are 12 cm and 16 cm, then what is the perimeter (in cm) of the rhombus?

- In a rhombus, diagonals bisect each other at right angles (90 degrees).

- The diagonals divide the rhombus into four right-angled triangles.

- Each side of the rhombus can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

- Half of the diagonals are 6 cm (12/2) and 8 cm (16/2).

- The side of the rhombus (a) is calculated as: a = v(6² + 8²) = v(36 + 64) = v100 = 10 cm.

- The perimeter of the rhombus is 4 times the side: 4 * 10 = 40 cm.

- Correct Answer: Option 2, 40
