Answer:

60

Explanation:

In a rhombus, all sides are equal in length. Let x be the length of each side of the rhombus.

Since AC and BD are diagonals of the rhombus, they intersect at their midpoint, which we can call O. Therefore, AO = CO = 9 and BO = DO = 12.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of AB:

AB^2 = AO^2 + BO^2

AB^2 = 9^2 + 12^2

AB^2 = 225

AB = 15

Therefore, the perimeter of the rhombus is:

4x = 4(15) = 60

So the perimeter of ABCD is 60 units.
