Correct. In any rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other. A square is a special case of a rhombus.
Shortest definition of square: A square is a rectangular rhombus.
and the answer is 5?
Notice the first word of my first response above.
Yes, you are correct.
5 cm is the answer.
When segments bisect each other, they split each other into a pair of congruent segments.
Also, in any rectangle, the diagonals are congruent. A square is a rectangle.
Ok, let me show you the logic in the steps of answering this question.
BD and AC are the diagonals of a square. A square is a rectangle. The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent. Therefore, BD and AC are congruent. The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. That makes all the segments of the diagonals, AE, CE, DE and BE congruent and half of 10 cm. All half diagonals are 5 cm. Segment AE is a half diagonal, so AE has length 5 cm.
