Answer:
Height = 14.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals meet at right angles. Interesting property.
The hypotenuse is the side of the rhombus = 15 cm
One of the sides of the small triangles created by the intersection of the diagonals = 24/2 = 12
You can find the other side of the the triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c = 15
a = 12
b = ?
12^2 + b^2 = 15^2
144 + b^2 = 225
b^2 = 225 - 144
b^2 = 81
b = 9
The area of this right angle = 9 * 12/2 = 54
There are 4 of them so 4 * 54 = 216
That's the area of the rhombus.
The h= Area / b
b = 15
h = 216/15
h = 14.4
