Mathematics
Area of Rhombus
Calculate area of a rhombus using its diagonals.
Area = ½ × d₁ × d₂
Formula Explanation
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles; area is half their product.
Variables Explained
d₁, d₂ = lengths of the two diagonals.
Solved Example
Diagonals 10 cm and 8 cm. Area?
½ × 10 × 8 = 40 cm².
