Step-by-step explanation:
Let ABCD is a rhombus with diagonals AC and BD which intersect each other at O.
Given, One diagonal is 10 cm
So, AC = 10
⇒ AO = AC/2 = 5 cm.
Let BO = x and AB = 13 cm.
By Pythagorean theorem ,
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
=> 13^2 = 5^2 + x^2
=> 169 = 25 + x^2
=> x^2 = 169 - 25
=> x^2 = 144
=> x = 12 cm
BO = 12 cm
Diagonal BD = 2 * 12 = 24 cm.
Area = 1/2 * Product of diagonals
= 1/2 * 10 * 24
= 120 cm^2
(i)
Length of its diagonal = 24 cm.
(ii)
Area of the rhombus = 120 cm^2
Hope it helps!
