A rhombus is a four-sided shape where all sides have equal length.
:
If your rhombus has a side = 8, the perimeter should be 8*4 = 32. I don't understand.

P.S.: If one side is 8, the area would be 8^2 = 8*8 = 64

The perimeter of rhombus is 45 cm. If its height is 8 cm, calculate its area.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the perimeter of the rhombus is 45 cm, then the side length is 45%2F4 cm.

Then the area of the rhombus is %2845%2F4%29%2A8 = 90 cm%5E2.
