Correct Answer: 120 cm 2


Solution : The perimeter of a rhombus = 52 cm
One diagonal = 10 cm
Let the length of the other diagonal be $x$ cm.
Perimeter = 4 × side
52 = 4 × side
Side = $\frac{52}{4} = 13$
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
Length of other diagonal = $2\sqrt{13^2-(\frac{10}{2})^2}$
$x = 2\sqrt{169-25}$
⇒ $x = 2 × \sqrt{144}$
⇒ $x = 2 × 12 = 24$ cm
⇒ Area of rhombus = $\frac{1}{2}$ × product of diagonals
= $\frac{1}{2}×10×24$
= 5 × 24
= 120 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 120 cm 2 .
