Explanation:

so, I understand this is a rhombus, yes ?

I will base my answer on that assumption.

the area of a rhombus is

p×q/2

p, q being the diagonals.

so, all 4 sides are equally long (5 cm).

the angle(s) between the diagonals is (are) 90°.

opposing angles are equally sized (B = D, A = C), and they are split in half by the diagonals.

and always remember : the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

so,

b1 = b2 = d1 = 50°.

a1 = a2 = c1 = c2 = 180 - 90 - 50 = 40°.

law of cosine :

c² = a² + b² - 2ab×cos(C)

with c being the side opposite of angle C. a, b are the kthe 2 sides.

that applies to all 3 sides and angles.

BD² = 5² + 5² - 2×5×5×cos(c1 + c2) =

= 25 + 25 - 50×cos(80) = 50 - 50×cos(80) =

= 41.31759112....

BD = 6.427876097... cm ≈ 6.43 cm

AC² = 5² + 5² - 2×5×5×cos(b1 + b2) =

= 25 + 25 - 50×cos(100) = 50 - 50×cos(100) =

= 58.68240888...

AC = 7.660444431... cm ≈ 7.66 cm

the area of ABCD is a described

AC × BD / 2 = 24.62019383... cm² ≈ 24.62 cm²
