Answer:
The diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at right angle.
Let ABCD is a rhombus with diagonals AC and BD which intersect each other at O.
AC = 10 cm , OA =1/2×AC=
OA= (½) × 10= 5 cm
OA= 5 cm
AB = 13 cm (given)
In ∆ AOB
By Pythagorean theorem
AB²= 0B²+ OA²
13² = OB² + 5²
169 = OB² + 25
OB²= 169 – 25
OB² =144
OB= √144
OB= 12 cm
Diagonal BD = 2 x 12= 24 cm
Hence, the length of other Diagonal = 24 cm
