Question

a rhombus is given one of whose diagonal is 24cm and the side is 13cm. find the measure of its other diagonal
​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at 90°. This means that a right triangle is formed, where Hypotenuse = 13 cm and Height = 12 cm.

Let the Base be x.

According to Pythagoras Theorem,

(12)² + x² = (13)²

=> 144 + x² = 169

=> x² = 169 - 144

=> x² = 25

=> x = 5

Hence, other diagonal = 2 × 5 cm = 10 cm

Answer 2
