Find the diagonals of a rhombus if one of them is 2.3 times larger than the other, and the area of the rhombus is 46 cm2.

| Let one of the diagonals of the rhombus be equal to X cm, then, by condition, the length of the other diagonal is equal to 2.3 * X.
Since the area of a rhombus is half the product of its diagonals, then:
46 = X * 2.3 * X / 2.
2.3 * X2 = 92.
X2 = 92 / 2.3 = 40.
X = √20 = 2 * √10 cm.
Then the second diagonal will be 2.3 * 2 * √10 = 4.6 * √10 cm.
Answer: The diagonals of the rhombus are 2 * √10 cm and 4.6 * √10 cm.
