Area of Rhombus = 1/2 × product of diagonals

⇒ 720 = 1/2 × product of diagonals

⇒ Product of diagonals = 1440

(Side of rhombus)2 = (half of one diagonal)2 + (half of the other diagonal)2

⇒ (One diagonal)2 + (Other diagonal)2 = 41 × 41 × 4

(Sum of two diagonal)2 = (One diagonal)2 + (other diagonal)2 + 2 × product of diagonals

⇒ (Sum of two diagonal)2 = 6724 + 2880 = 9604

∴ Sum of two diagonal = 98cm
