Question : If the diagonals of a Rhombus are 12 cm and 16 cm, then what is the perimeter (in cm) of the Rhombus?
Option 1: 20 cm
Option 2: 40 cm
Option 3: 60 cm
Option 4: 80 cm
Correct Answer: 40 cm
Solution : The diagonals of a rhombus are 12 cm and 16 cm. We know that diagonals perpendicularly bisect each other in a rhombus. Side of a rhombus = $\sqrt{(\frac{\text{Diagonal_1}}{2})^2 + (\frac { \text{Diagonal_2}}{2})^2}$ ⇒ Side of rhombus = $\sqrt{(\frac{12}{2})^{2}+ (\frac{16}{2})^{2}}$ ⇒ Side = $\sqrt{36+64} =
