Correct Answer: 20. Every rhombus is cut into 4, congruent right triangles. The "legs" of each one will be half of 24cm and half of 32cm: that is, 12cm and 16cm. The Pythagorean Theorem says that the remaining side, the hypotenuse, will be √ (12^2+16^2)cm; 12^2+16^2 =144+256 =400; √ 400 =20. That gives us one side of the rhombus at 20cm.
