Given:

Perimeter of Rhombus = 148 cm

One diagonal = 24 cm

Formula used:

 

Perimeter of Rhombus = 4 × side

Area of Rhombus = 1/2 × d1 × d2

where, d1 and d2 are diagonals of rhombus

Calculation:

Perimeter = 4 × side

⇒ 148 = 4 × side

⇒ side = 37 cm

In right angled triangle  ΔAOB,

⇒ AB2 = AO2 + OB2

⇒ (37)2 = (12)2 + OB2

⇒ 1369 = 144 + OB2

⇒ OB2 = (1369 – 144)

⇒ OB2 = 1225 cm2

⇒ OB = 35 cm

BD = 2 × OB

⇒ 2 × 35 cm

⇒ 70 cm

Area of Rhombus = (1/2 × 24 × 70) cm2

⇒ 840 cm2

∴ Area of Rhombus is 840 cm2
