Heya user ,
Here is your answer !!
The sides of the rhombus is = 10 cm .
Now , one of the diagonal is 16 cm .
So , when the two diagonals intersect , four right angled triangles are formed .
Lets take one right angled triangle .
Applying Pythagoras' theorem , we get ,
AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2
=> AB^2 + 8^2 = 10^2
=> AB^2 = 10^2 - 8^2
=> AB^2 = 6^2
=> AB = 6 .
Hence , the length of the other diagonal is ( 2 * 6 ) cm = 12 cm .
Hence , the area of the rhombus is
= 1/2 * 12 * 16 sq. cm
= 96 cm ........... [Answer]
Hope it helps you !!

here is ur answer
length of the diagonal is 12cm
and area of rhombus is 1÷2×12×16=96
sry in paper I made a small mistake hope so u will identify
