The area and a diagonal of a rhombus are 60 cm\(^2\) and 12 cm respectively. Calculate the length of the other diagonal.
5cm
6cm
10cm
12cm
15cm
Maelezo
Area of rhombus = \(\frac{pq}{2}\)
where p and q are the two diagonals of the rhombus.
\(\therefore 60 = \frac{12 \times q}{2}\)
6q = 60 \(\implies\) q = 10 cm
