together:
area = 1/2(d1 + d2)



I think area of a rhombus = 1/2(d1*d2) not 1/2(d1+d2)

Why Not B - If we take the definition of a rhombus as, "A rhombus is a square with a lean. All sides have equal length, and opposite sides are parallel. Also, opposite angles are equal," then given the length of the diagonal "48" we should be able to find a side of the rhombus. My calculations show that the side is equal to 24 sqrt 2. Perimeter equals 24 sqrt 2 * 4.

Guess you are assumming here that rhombus diagonals are equal in length. It is not true.
