उत्तर

Since, rhombus is a parallelogram, all sides are equal.

So, area of a rhombus

area of a parallelogram

= side × altitude

= (5 × 4.8) cm2 = 24 cm2

Also, area of a rhombus

`1/2` (Product of its diagonals)

∴ 24 cm2 = `1/2` (8 × d) cm

where d is the length of the other diagonal.

`(48cm^2)/(8cm)` = d

= 6 cm = d

∴ The length of the other diagonal be 6 cm.
