Diagonal KM=20 units
Diagonal LN=16 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Diagonals of rhombus bisect
=> x+6=5x-2 and 6x=4x-4 (Eq. 1 & 2)
From Eq. 1, x=2 and Eq. 2, x=-2
If x=2,
KM:OK+OM or 2+6+5(2)-2 = 20 units
LN:OL+ON or 6(2)+4(2)-4 = 16 units
If x=-2,
KM:OK+OM or -2+6+5(-2)-2 = -8 units
LN:OL+ON or 6(-2)+4(-2)-4 = -24 units
Distance can't be -ve, hence value of x is 2 and length of diagonals are given above.
