Detailed Solution

Given data:
Diagonal BD of rhombus = 12 cm
Perimeter of rhombus ABCD = 40 cm
We are aware that the perimeter is equal to the total of the lengths of all the rhombus sides, or 4s, where s is a rhombus side.
Using the method above, we can determine the side of the rhombus and obtain
40 = 4s
s = 10
Question ImageNow,
Create four right-angled triangles out of the rhombus.
So that each triangle has a 10 cm hypotenuse.
122 = 6 cm
Utilizing Pythagorus' Theorem
= 102 - 62
= 8 cm
Here,
8 + 8 = 16 cm    [Measure of d1 equals the sum of the bases of two triangles]
Area of rhombus = 12 × d1 × d2
= 12 × 16 × 12
= 96 cm2
Therefore, the area of the rhombus is 96 cm2, and the diagonal AC is 16 cm.
