Answer:

10 units

Explanation:

recall that the area of a rhombus is half the product of the length of its diagonals. i.e

Area of Rhombus = (1/2) (length of diagonal 1) x (length of diagonal 2)

in our case, we are given:

Area of Rhombus = 65 unitsĀ²

length of diagonal 1 = 13 units.

Hence substituting the above values into the formula:

Area of Rhombus = (1/2) (length of diagonal 1) x (length of diagonal 2)

65 = (1/2) (13) x (Length of diagonal 2)

Length of diagonal 2 = (65 x 2 ) / 13 = 10 units
