| Let’s define the area of a rhombus through its diagonals.
Savsd = АС * ВD / 2 = 32 * 24/2 = 384 cm2.
The diagonals of the rhombus, at the intersection point, are divided in half and intersect at right angles, then AO = AC / 2 = 32/2 = 16 cm, OB = BD / 2 = 24/2 = 12 cm, and the AOB triangle is rectangular.
In a right-angled triangle AOB, according to the Pythagorean theorem, we determine the length of the hypotenuse AB.
AB ^ 2 = AO ^ 2 + BO ^ 2 = 256 + 144 = 400.
AB = 20 cm.
In a rhombus, the lengths of the sides are equal, then AB = BC = CD = AD = 20 cm.
The perimeter of the rum is: P = 4 * AB = 4 * 20 = 80 cm.
Answer: The area of the rhombus is 384 cm2, the perimeter of the rhombus is 80 cm.
