Expert Answer:
We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
∴ BO =
BD = 
cm = 8 cm, AB =10 cm and ∠AOB = 900 .
From right triangle OAB, we have
AB2 = AO2 + BO2
⇒AO2 = (AB2 - BO2) = {(10)2 -(8)2} cm2
= (100 -64) cm2 = 36 cm2
⇒ AO = 
cm = 6 cm.
∴ AC = 2 × AO = (2×6) cm = 12 cm.
