the diagonals of a rhombus are angle bisectors for the angles at the vertices, and they are perpendicular bisectors of each other.
Step1: Recall properties of rhombus
In a rhombus, the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other. So, \(\angle LPM = 90^{\circ}\). Also, the diagonals bisect the angles of the rhombus.
Step2: Find \(\angle PMN\)
Given \(m\angle LON=102^{\circ}\). Since the diagonals of a rhombus bisect the vertex angles, \(\angle ONM=\angle OMN\). In \(\triangle ONM\), \(m\angle LON\) is an exterior angle. But we can also use the fact that the diagonals bisect the angles. The adjacent angles of a rhombus are supplementary. Let's use the angle - bisecting property. \(\angle LON\) and \(\angle LMN\) are related. Since the diagonal \(LN\) bisects \(\angle LMN\) and \(\angle LON\) and \(\angle LMN\) are related as \(m\angle LON + m\angle LMN= 180^{\circ}\) (adjacent angles of a rhombus are supplementary). So \(m\angle LMN=78^{\circ}\). Since the diagonal \(MN\) bisects \(\angle LMN\), \(m\angle PMN=\frac{1}{2}m\angle LMN\). So \(m\angle PMN = 39^{\circ}\)
Step3: Find length of \(LN\)
Given \(NP = 5\) units. Since the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other, \(LN=2\times NP\). So \(LN = 10\) units
