Perimeter of a rhombus =4�side length.= 64 m.
Length of the side of rhombus = 64/4. = 16 m.
Let ABCD is a rhombus in which AB=BC=CD=DA= 16 m. and diagonals meet at
point O . Diagonal AC=22 m.
In right angled triangle AOB:- OB^2+OA^2= AB^2
or. (BD/2)^2+(AC/2)^2= AB^2
or. (BD/2)^2+(22/2)^2 = 16^2. or. (BD/2)^2=256–121=135
or. BD/2=3√15. => BD= 6√15 m.

. A rhombus has perimeter 64 m and one of its diagonals is 22 m. Prove...
Given:
Perimeter of the rhombus = 64 m
Length of one diagonal = 22 m
To Prove:
Area of the rhombus = 66√15 sq. meters
Proof:
Step 1: Finding the Side Length of the Rhombus
Let's assume the side length of the rhombus as 'a'. Since a rhombus has all sides equal, the perimeter can be expressed as:
Perimeter = 4 * a
Given that the perimeter is 64 m, we can write the equation:
4 * a = 64
Simplifying the equation, we get:
a = 64 / 4 = 16 m
So, the side length of the rhombus is 16 m.
Step 2: Finding the Other Diagonal of the Rhombus
Let's assume the other diagonal of the rhombus as 'd'. Using the properties of a rhombus, we know that the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. Therefore, each half of the diagonal forms a right-angled triangle with the side lengths 'a' and 'd/2'.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write the equation:
(a/2)^2 + (d/2)^2 = (22/2)^2
Substituting the value of 'a' as 16 m, we get:
(16/2)^2 + (d/2)^2 = 11^2
8^2 + (d/2)^2 = 121
64 + (d/2)^2 = 121
(d/2)^2 = 121 - 64
(d/2)^2 = 57
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
d/2 = √57
Multiplying both sides by 2, we get:
d = 2 * √57
So, the length of the other diagonal is 2√57 m.
Step 3: Calculating the Area of the Rhombus
The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula:
Area = (d1 * d2) / 2
where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.
Substituting the values of the diagonals, we get:
Area = (22 * 2√57) / 2
Area = 22√57
Calculating the numerical value of the area, we have:
Area ≈ 66√15 sq. meters
Therefore, the area of the rhombus is approximately 66√15 sq. meters.
