Given :-
- Each side of a rhombus is 13 cm and the length of one diagonal is 24 cm
To find :-
- Length of other diagonal
Solution :-
Let
- AC = 24 cm
- AB = BC = CD = DA = 13 cm
As we know that
- Adjacent sides of rhombus are equal
- Diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at 90°
→ AC = ½ OC = 24
→ OC = 12 cm
By Pythagoras theorem
→ (hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (perpendicular)²
→ (h)² = (b)² + (p)²
→ (DC)² = (OD)² + (OC)²
→ (13)² = (OD)² + (12)²
→ 169 = OD² + 144
→ OD² = 169 - 144
→ OD² = 25
→ OD = √25
→ OD = 5 cm
- BD = 2OD
- BD = 2 × 5 = 10cm
Hence,
- Length of other diagonal of rhombus is 10cm
More to know :-
- Area of circle = πr²
- Circumference of circle = 2πr
- Perimeter of rectangle =2(l + b)
- Perimeter of square = 4 × side
- Area of square = side × side
- Area of rhombus = ½ × product of diagonals
- Area of Parallelogram = base × height
- Area of trapezium = ½ × sum of parallel sides × height

Answer:
120cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
so first we should divide the diagonal
now a triangle ABC
the angle is 90degree
now by Pythagoras theorem
(AC)²=(AB)²+(CA)²
now we have AC as 13cm
n AC=12
so it is
(13)²=(12)²+(CA)²
169=144+(CA)²
(CA)²=169-144
(CA)²=25
CA=5
so another diagonal =CA×2
=5×2
=10
so Area =½×10×24
=120cm²
