The diagonals bisect each other. Since that is true then the area of the rhombus is the sum of the two triangles. Half of one diagonal times the other diagonal.

The diagonals of a rhombus cannot be the same size.
area_rhombus = product_of_diagonals / 2 = 12 x 5 / 2 = 30 units2 [replace "units" by your measurement unit, eg cm]
Let the diagonals be x+5 and x:- If: 0.5*(x+5)*x = 150 sq cm Then: x2+5x-300 = 0 Solving the above by means of the quadratic equation formula: x = +15 Therefore: diagonals are 15 cm and 20 cm The rhombus has 4 interior right angle triangles each having an hypotenuse Dimensions of their sides: 7.5 and 10 cm Using Pythagoras' theorem: 7.52+102 = 156.25 Its square root: 12.5 cm Thus: 4*12.5 = 50 cm which is the perimeter of the rhombus Note: area of any quadrilateral whose diagonals are perpendicular is 0.5*product of their diagonals
Rhombus comprises 4 triangles which can be arranged to form 2 rectangles 5' x 6', so total area is 60 ft2.
Let the other diagonal be x:- If area is: 0.5*x*7.5 = 37.5 Then x is: 37.5/(0.5*7.5) = 10 The rhombus will then have 4 right angles with sides of 5 and 3.75 Using Pythagoras: hypotenuse of each triangle is 6.25 cm Therefore perimeter of the rhombus is: 4*6.25 = 25 cm
