in a rhombus, there are four right triangles so the side of the rhombus, the hypotenuse of the little triangle is 13. the long leg is 12 because thats 24 halved.
so 12 squared plus blank equals 13 squared. 144+ __ = 169
isolate the blank by doing this 169-144= ___
and you get 25, square root it, thats 5
5 is half the diagonal, thats 10

Hint: The diagonals of a rhombus BISECT each other at right angles. I`m not going to do this one for you as well, but I will tell you that the answer is 10 cm. I`d love to know where you`re getting these questions from because they seem very familiar to me.Are they from Harwood Clarke ? I think you can IM me. Thanks, Twiggy.
