Answer
ABCD is a rhombus as AB = BC = CD = DA and ∠ BAD = 60°.

Now in Δ ABD,
AB = AD (Sides of rhombus)
⇒ ∠ ABD = ∠ ADB (Angles opposite to equal side of Δ)
Let ∠ ABD = x.
According to the angle sum property,
∠ ABD + ∠ ADB + ∠ BAD = 180°
⇒ x + x + 60° = 180°
⇒ 2x + 60° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° - 60°
⇒ 2x = 120°
⇒ x =
⇒ x = 60°
ABCD is a rhombus. So, diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at 90°.
AO = OC and BO = OD
In Δ AOD,
And,
AC = 2 x AO = 2 x 51.96 = 103.92 cm
BD = 2 x BO = 2 x 30 = 60 cm
Hence, AC = 103.92 cm and BD = 60 cm.
