Answer:
Area of the rhombus = Side × Length of the altitude
= 5*4.8
= 24 sq cm
Now,
Let the length of the other diagonal = x
It is known that the area of a rhombus is half the product of its diagonals.
∴ (1/2) × 8 × x = 24
⇒ 4x = 24
⇒ x = 6 cm
The length of the other diagonal is 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rhombus=side ×length of the altitude
=5×4.8
=24 sq cm
Now,
Let the length of other diagonal=x
It is known that the area of rhombus is half the product of its diagonals.
:.(1/2)×8×x=24
4x=24
x=6cm
The length of the other diagonal is 6 cm
