The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 18 cm and 24 cm. what is its perimeter and what is the distance between the parallel sides? i don't know the distance but the perimeter is 60cm

The perimeter of rhombus is and Distance between the parallel sides is .

The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are and .

We know that all sides of the rhombus are equal and its diagonal are perpendicularly bisect each other.

So, the rhombus is divided in 4 right triangles whose base is  and perpendicular is respectively.

On applying the Pythagoras theorem in any one triangle,

Or,

.

We have, perimeter of rhombus

.

We know that Area of rhombus,

.

.

Now, We have another formula for calculating the area of rhombus when we don't have the value of its diagonal in that case,

Area of rhombus will be,

We have, and

Putting the above values, we get

Or,

.

Hence the perimeter of rhombus is and Distance between the parallel sides is .
