  1. Given: Diagonals AC = 30 cm and DB = 16 cm.
    Since the diagonals of the rhombus bisect at right angle to each other.
    Therefore, OD = DB/2 = 16/2 = 8cm
    And OC = AC/2 = 30/2 = 15 cm
    Now, In right angle triangle DOC,
    (DC)² = (OD)² + (OC)² [By Pythagoras theorem]
    ⇒ (DC)² = (8)² + (15)²
    ⇒ (DC)² = 64 + 225 = 289
    ⇒ DC = √289 = 17
    Perimeter of rhombus = 4 x side = 4 x 17 = 68 cm
    Thus, the perimeter of rhombus is 68 cm.
