Answer 2

Answer:

Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

Let ABCD be the rhombus, Diagonal AC=16 cm and side AB=10 cm.

In right △AOB, AB=10 cm, AO=8 cm

By Pythagoras theorem, AB

=100−64=36

∴BO=6cms

Diagonal BD=2×6=12cm

×16×12=8×12=96sq.cm

Hence length of other diagonal =12 cm;

And Area of rhombus =96sq.cm
