Math Problem Statement
One of the diagonals of a rhombus is 48cm long and the length of each side of the rhombus is 26cm. Find the length of the other diagonal and and also find the area of the rhombus. with diagram
Solution
Here is the diagram of the rhombus, showing the diagonals and the right-angled intersection. The length of one diagonal is 48 cm, and the other diagonal, which we calculated, is 20 cm. The side of the rhombus is 26 cm.
