Answer:
Let ABCD be a rhombus of side 10cm and ∠BAD=∠BCD=60
o
. Diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.
So, AO=OC and BO=OD
In right triangle AOB

o
=
AB
OB
⇒

=

OB
⇒ OB=5cm
∴ BD=2(OB)
⇒ BD=2(5)
⇒ BD=10cm

o
=
AB
OA
⇒

=

OA
⇒ OA=5

∴ AC=2(OA)
⇒ AC=2(5

)
⇒ AC=10

So, the length of diagonals AC=10
