Solution
Let the side be x. perimeter of a rhombus= 4*side=4x=52cm x=52/4= 13cm We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles. Let the intersecting point of diagonals be O. Consider triangle AOB OA=24/2=12cm OB=√(AB²-OA²)=√(13²-12²) =√(169-144)=√25=5cm Then length of other diagonal BD=2*OB=2*5=10cm Area of the rhombus=1/2*AC*BD=1/2*24*10=120cm²
