Answer

Let length of each side of rhombus = x cm.

Given,

Perimeter = 45 cm

⇒ x + x + x + x = 45

⇒ 4x = 45

⇒ x = 454\dfrac{45}{4} cm

By formula,

Area of rhombus = base × height

Substituting the values we get,

Area of rhombus = 454\dfrac{45}{4} × 8 = 90 cm2.

Hence, area of rhombus = 90 cm2.
