Answer:
Side of rhombus = 30m
Longer diagonal = 48m
Now please refer to figure
OD = 48/2 = 24m
OD^2 + OC^2 = DC^2
24^2 + OC^2 = 30^2
OC^2 = 900 - 576
OC^2 = 324
OC = 18cm
Shorter diagonal = 2*18 = 36m
Area of rhombus = Product of diagonals *1/2
= 36 * 48/2
=36*24
= 864 m^2
Hope it helps, Please mark as brainliest because i typed the whole thing :)
