The correct Answer is:
To find the length of the other diagonal of the rhombus, we can use the formula for the area of a rhombus, which is given by: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 \] where \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) are the lengths of the diagonals. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Area of the rhombus \(A = 148.8 \, \text{cm}^2\) - One diagonal \(d_1 = 19.2 \, \text{cm}\) - The other diagonal \(d_2\) is what we need to find. 2. **Substitute the known values into the area formula**: \[ 148.8 = \frac{1}{2} \times 19.2 \times d_2 \] 3. **Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction**: \[ 2 \times 148.8 = 19.2 \times d_2 \] \[ 297.6 = 19.2 \times d_2 \] 4. **Now, divide both sides by 19.2 to solve for \(d_2\)**: \[ d_2 = \frac{297.6}{19.2} \] 5. **Perform the division**: - First, simplify the division: \[ d_2 = \frac{2976}{192} \quad (\text{Multiplying both numerator and denominator by 10}) \] - Now, divide: \[ d_2 = 15.5 \, \text{cm} \] ### Final Answer: The length of the other diagonal \(d_2\) is \(15.5 \, \text{cm}\). ---
