1. Problem Description

The area of a rhombus is 30 cm2cm^2. One of the diagonals is 6 cm. We need to find the length of the other diagonal.

2. Solution Steps

The area of a rhombus is given by the formula:
Area=12d1d2Area = \frac{1}{2} * d_1 * d_2, where d1d_1 and d2d_2 are the lengths of the diagonals.
We are given that the area is 30 cm2cm^2 and one diagonal is 6 cm. Let d1=6d_1 = 6 cm.
Then, we have
30=126d230 = \frac{1}{2} * 6 * d_2
30=3d230 = 3 * d_2
d2=303d_2 = \frac{30}{3}
d2=10d_2 = 10 cm

3. Final Answer

The length of the other diagonal is 10 cm.
So the answer is C. 10 cm.
