the perimeter of a rhombus is 260 cm and the height is 10 cm . if one diagnol is 0.25 m, find the length of other diagnol also in metres.

Suppose a be the length of each side of rhombus.
So, its perimeter = 4a = 260 cm
a = 2604 = 65 cm = 0.65 m
Height of rhombus = 10 cm = 0.1 m
So, area of rhombus = base × height = 0.65 × 0.1 = 0.0650 m2
Now, length of one diagonal of rhombus = 0.25 m
Suppose length of other diagonal is d
And we know that area of rhombus when length of diagonals are given = 12 (product of length of two diagonals)
So, we have;
12d×0.25 = 0.065d×0.25 = 0.065×2d =  0.065×20.25 = 0.52
Therefore, length of other diagonal is 0.52 m.
