    Consider a rhombus ABCD, and let the diagonals bisect each other at point O.So, assuming AC to be the longer diagonal,
    We are given, AB=8 cm, angle DAB =60°.
    Consider the triangle AOB,
    $$angle OAB$$=30° (diagonal of a rhombus bisects the angle)
    Also,
    $$angle AOB$$=90°(diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles)
    So triangle AOB is right angled at O. Hence ,
    Cos 30°= OA/AB
    OA=AB*(√3/2)
    OA=8*(√3/2) cm.
    Since, longer diagonal AC= $$2 imes OA$$
    therefore, AC=8√3 cm
