The correct Answer is:
To find the area of a rhombus when the lengths of its diagonals are given, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 \] where \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) are the lengths of the diagonals. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the lengths of the diagonals**: - Given \(d_1 = 10 \, \text{cm}\) - Given \(d_2 = 12 \, \text{cm}\) 2. **Substitute the values into the area formula**: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \, \text{cm} \times 12 \, \text{cm} \] 3. **Calculate the product of the diagonals**: \[ 10 \times 12 = 120 \, \text{cm}^2 \] 4. **Multiply by \(\frac{1}{2}\)**: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{120}{2} \, \text{cm}^2 = 60 \, \text{cm}^2 \] 5. **Conclude the value of \(x\)**: - Since the area of the rhombus is \(60 \, \text{cm}^2\), we have \(x = 60\). ### Final Answer: The value of \(x\) is \(60\).
