Answer:
15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
AC=24cm and BD=18cm.
AO=OC= 12
OB = OD =9 cm
Let ∠AOD=90
[The diagonal of a Rhombus bisects each other at right angles.]
In right ΔAOD,
AO= 12 cm and OD=9 cm
Using Pythagoras theorem,
AD ^2 =AO ^2 +OD ^2
AD ^2 =12 ^2 +9 ^2=225
AD=15 cm
In a rhombus, all sides are equal, while in a kite 2 pairs of adjacent sides are equal.
In a rhombus, diagonals bisect each other, whereas in a kite, the longer diagonal bisects the shorter one.
