Answer:

52m

Explanation:

rhombus

its like a slanted square

all its 4 sides are equal like a square

both pairs of opposite sides are parallel

when the diagonals criss cross they make 4 triangles inside

the sides of the rhombus become the hypotenuse of a triangles inside

if the diagonal is 24 and 10 then

its radius is 12 and 5

the sides of the rhombus become the hypotenuse of a triangle that have the sides 12 and 5

hypotenuse of a triangle that has the sides 12 and 5 is

13

(its a special triangle: its a 5, 12, 13 right triangle)

13 times 4 is 52
