In order to find the value of x, which coincides with one of the diagonals of the rhombus, use the following formula for the area of a rhombus:

A = (d1 · d2)/2

where d1 and d2 are the two diagonals of the figure.

In this case, you have:

A = 45

d1 = BD = 6

d2 = AC = x

replace the previous values of the parameters into the formula for A, and solve for x, as follow:

45 = (6·x)/2

45 = 3x divide by 3 both sides

45/3 = x

15 = x

x = 15

Hence, the value of x in the given rhombus ABCD, is 15 units
