Respuesta :

the diagonals cut each other in two 
so LP = 1/2 * 28 = 14

C
calculista

we know that

Rhombus diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other

so

[tex]LN=LP+PN\\LP=PN[/tex]

so

[tex]LN=2LP[/tex]

Solve for LP

[tex]LP=\frac{1}{2} LN[/tex]

we have

[tex]LN=28\ cm[/tex]

substitute

[tex]LP=\frac{1}{2}*28=14\ cm[/tex]

therefore

the answer is the option C

[tex]LP=14\ cm[/tex]
