We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(24/2)^2 + x^2 = 13^2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 169 - 144 = 25
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "therefore the other diagonal is 2(5) = 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "******************************************
\n" ); document.write( "Area of rhombus = (10 * 24) / 2 = 120 cm^2
