AC = 6 cm , then AO = 3cmt
BD = 4cm , then BO = 2 cm
[Diagonal bisects each other ]
By Pythagoras theorem
AB^2 = AO^2 + BO^2
AB^2 = 9 + 4 = 13
AB = cm
Side of rhombus = cm
BD = 4cm , then BO = 2 cm
[Diagonal bisects each other ]
By Pythagoras theorem
AB^2 = AO^2 + BO^2
AB^2 = 9 + 4 = 13
AB = cm
Side of rhombus = cm

In a Rhombus the diagonal bisect each other
so,
if ABCD is the Rhombus and their diagonal intersect at O then
AO = OC and BO = OD
now by applying Pythagoras theorem in triangle AOD,
AO = ½AC = 2cm
DO = ½BD = 3cm
AD² = AO²+ DO²
AD² = 2²+ 3²
AD = √4+9
AD = √13
AD= 3.605551275463989cm
hope it helps you
