Step-by-step explanation:
area=1/2×d1×d2
60 =1/2×18×d2
60=9×d2
60÷9=d2
6.66=d2

Answer: 24 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the side of the rhombus be s.
Perimeter of Rhombus = 4s
⇒ 60 = 4s
⇒ s = 60 ÷ 4 = 15 cm
Let the rhombus be ABCD as shown in the attachment.
Let's take AD = 60cm.
We Know That, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other.
⇒ OD = 1/2 of AD = 1/2 × 18 = 9 cm
We Know That, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
∴ ΔCOD is a right angled triangle.
In ΔCOD by Pythagoras' Theorem,
(OD)² + (OC)² = (CD)²
⇒ 9² + (OC)² = 15²
⇒ 81 + (OC)² = 225
⇒ (OC)² = 225 - 81
⇒ (OC)² = 144
⇒ OC = √144 = 12 cm
∴ BC = 2 × OC = 2 × 12 = 24 cm
