How do you find the perimeter of a rhombus with a given angle and diagonal?

You know that the diagonals intersect at the middle of each other, in lets say a point O. You then take the triangle ABO, which has the right angle BOA, and in this triangle you use sin and cos, first to determine the side AB and then to determine BO, half of the BD diagonal.
