Remember that a rhombus has $4$ sides that all have the same length. Thus since we know the perimeter we can find the length of each side.

We know that diagonal $AC$ has length $24$. What happens if we also draw diagonal $BD$ in the diagram? This divides the rhombus into 4 smaller shapes. What is nice about these shapes?
