in the rhoumbus diagonals are perpendicular so if you do dot product of A and B it will be equal to zero

Let the side be a. Let x be the acute angle of the rhombus. Magnitude of the smaller diagonal is √26.
a^2+a^2+2a.a.cosx=26.......1
From 1/2.d1.d2, we get area as √1274/2
Area=a.a.sinx=√1274/2...........2
Solving 1 and 2, we get a=5√3/2
