उत्तर
(i)
Perimeter of rhombus = 40 cm
Perimeter of rhombus = 4 × side
4 × side = 40
side = `40/4 = 10` cm
One diagonal = 16 cm
Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

OB = `sqrt("AB"^2 - "OA"^2)`
= `sqrt((10)^2 - (8)^2)`
= `sqrt(100 - 64)`
= `sqrt(36)`
= 6 cm
∴ diagonal BD = `6 xx 2 = 12` cm
(ii)
Area of rhombus = `1/2 xx "product of diagonals"`
= `1/2 xx 12 xx 16`
= 96 cm2
∴ (i) 12 cm (ii) 96 cm2
