recall these properties:
-all sides of rhombus are equal.
-the diagonals of rhombus are perpendicular (forms four 90 degree angles)
-area of rhombus, if diagonals are given, can be calculated by
A = d1 * d2 /2
where d1 & d2 are the diagonal lengths
-side of a rhombus, if diagonals are given, can be calculated by
s = sqrt(d1^2 + d2^2)
*note that this is just pythagorean theorem
applying these,
A = 24*18/2
A = 216 m^2
s = sqrt(24^2 + 18^2)
s = sqrt(900)
s = 30 m
P = 4*s
P = 4*30
P = 120 m
hope this helps~ :)
