one side rhombus = 13 cm
length of one diagonal = 24 cm
property to use: diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at 90°
taking 1/4 portion of rhombus (triangle)base = 12 cm (half of diagonal)hypotenuse = 13 cm
for perpendicular use pythagoras theorem
h²-b²=p²
then solving it we get perpendicular(p)= 5 cm
therefore diagonal = 2p= 10 cm
Area of rhombus = 1/2 × 10 × 24
= 120 cm²
:) Hope This Helps!!!
