Question
Each side of rhombus is 10cm. If one of its diagonals is 16cm, find the length of the other diagonals.

Solution
Side of the rhombus = 10cm
One diagonal, d1 = 16cm
Let d2 be the other diagonal of the rhombus
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other
∴ `("d"_1/2)^2 + ("d"_2/2)^2` = side2
`8^2 + ("d"_2/2)^2` = 100
⇒ `("d"_2/2)^2` = 100 - 64 = (6)2
⇒ `("d"_2)/(2^2)` = 6
⇒ d2 = 12
Thus, the other diagonal of the rhombus is of length 12cm.

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
