Answer:6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Costruct a rhombus ABCD with diagonals intersect at O
Diagonal of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles
So, O = 90° OA = 4 cm
In triangle AOB, by Pythagoras theorem
OB^2 = AB^2 - OA^2
OB^2 = 5^2 + 4^2
OB = 3 cm
So, length of the diagonal is 2OB
= 6 cm.
Hope it helps
