Solution

The correct option is B 22 cm
Given that the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles.
Since, the diagonal bisect each other, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
The diagonals of the quadrilateral bisect at right angles, hence it must be a rhombous in which all sides are equal.
Then, perimeter
=4S=4×5.5=22 cm
