Question

A rhombus with side 5 cm will have

• A. Each diagonal < 10 cm
• B. Each diagonal > 10 cm
• C. Both diagonals of same length
• D. All angles = 90^o

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Each diagonal < 10 cm

Each diagonal of a rhombus divides it into two triangles. We know that, in a triangle, sum of two sides is greater than the third side.

Thus, each diagonal < 5 cm + 5 cm or each diagonal < 10 cm
