The height of the rhombus is 1.5 cm less than its side. The perimeter of the rhombus is 28 cm. Calculate the area of the rhombus.

Formula for the area of a rhombus:
S = a * h
From the perimeter of the rhombus, we find the side of the rhombus:
28: 4 = 7 (cm)
Height:
7-1.5 = 5.5 (cm)
S = 7 * 5.5 = 38.5 (cm²)
Answer: the area of the rhombus is 38.5 cm²
