Since you're joining the midpoints ,the sides would be divided in half and form a right angled triangle with one side of 3 cm , the other of 4 cm and the hypotenuse would be 5 cm by Pythagoras theorem.
All sides of a rhombus are equal ,so they would all be 5 cm each.
The area of a rhombus is (diagonal 1 × diagonal 2 )÷2.
So ,the area is (6×8)÷2 =48÷2=24.
Thus the answer is 24 cm².

The diagonals are equal and parallel to the sides of the rectangle ,thus they're 6 cm and 8 cm respectively.
