Given :{tex}\cos \alpha = \frac { 2 } { 3 }{/tex}
and OB = 3 cm
In {tex}\triangle A O B{/tex}{tex}\cos \alpha = \frac { 2 } { 3 } = \frac { A O } { A B }{/tex}
Let OA = 2x and AB = 3x
In {tex}\triangle A O B,{/tex} 
{tex}AB^2=OA^2+OB^2{/tex}
(3x)2 = (2x)2 + OB​​​​​2
{tex}5x^2=OB^2=9{/tex} 
{tex}x = \frac{3}{√5}{/tex}
So diagonal  AC = 2OA = 4x = {tex}\frac {12}{√5} cm{/tex}
and diagonal BD = 2OB = 2 {tex}\times{/tex} 3 = 6 cm
