STEP 1: find diagonal $ d2 $

To find diagonal $ d2 $ use formula:

$$ d_1^2 + d_2^2 = 4 \cdot a^2 $$

After substituting $d_1 = 6\, \text{cm}$ and $a = 5\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ \left( 6\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} + d_2^2 = 4 \cdot \left( 5\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} $$ $$ 36\, \text{cm}^2 + d_2^2 = 100\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ d_2^2 = 100\, \text{cm}^2 - 36\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ d_2^2 = 64\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ d_2 = \sqrt{ 64\, \text{cm}^2 } $$$$ d_2 = 8\, \text{cm} $$

STEP 2: find area $ A $

To find area $ A $ use formula:

$$ A = \dfrac{ d_1 \cdot d_2 }{ 2 } $$

After substituting $d_1 = 6\, \text{cm}$ and $d_2 = 8\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ A = \dfrac{ 6\, \text{cm} \cdot 8\, \text{cm} }{ 2 }$$$$ A = \dfrac{ 48\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 2 } $$$$ A = 24\, \text{cm}^2 $$
