Question
The length of the diagonals of rhombus are 24cm and 10cm. Find each side of the rhombus.
Solution
It is given that the diagonals of a rhombus are of length 14cm and 10cm respectively
∴ d1 = 24cm, d2 = 10cm
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other
∴ `("d"_1/2)^2 + ("d"_2/2)^2` = side2
⇒ side2
= 122 + 52
= 144 + 25
= 132
⇒ Side = 13
Thus, each side of the rhombus is of length 13cm.

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)`
