Answer:
Let ABCD be the rhombus where AC = 10 cm and BD = 24 cm.
Let AC and BD intersect each other at O. Now, diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at right angles. Thus, we have.
Since AOB is a right angled triangle, by pythagoras theorem, we have.
Hence, AB = 13. Thus, length of each side of rhombus is 13 cm.
