Let, length of other diagonal of a rhombus be 2x m

We know,

a2 = (d1/2)2 + (d2/2)2           [a = side of rhombous, d1 and d2 are diagonals]

⇒ (2.8/2)2 + (2x/2)2 = (5)2

⇒ 1.96 + x2 = 25

⇒ x2 = 23.04

⇒ x = 4.8 m

Length of the other diagonal = 4.8 × 2 = 9.6 m

Also, area of rhombous = ½ × product of diagonals

∴ Area of rhombus = 1/2 × 2.8 × 9.6 = 13.44 m2
