Solution
50
Explanation:
Let ABCD be the rhombus, diagonal AC = 60 and BD = 80.
We know that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other.
∴ Diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at point M.
∴ In ∆AMD, ∠M = 90°, AM = 30, DM = 40
∴ AM2 + DM2 = AD2 ...[Pythagoras theorem]
∴ (30)2 + (40)2 = AD2
∴ 900 + 1600 = AD2
∴ AD2 = 2500
∴ AD = 50 units

In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = 12 then complete the activity to show that whether the given triangle is right angled triangle or not.
*(l, m, n are opposite sides of ∠L, ∠M, ∠N respectively)
Activity: In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = `square`
∴ l2 = `square`, m2 = 169, n2 = 144.
∴ l2 + n2 = 25 + 144 = `square`
∴ `square` + l2 = m2
∴ By Converse of Pythagoras theorem, ∆LMN is right angled triangle.
