what is the area of rhombus

The area of a rhombus is the amount of space enclosed within its four equal sides. It is usually measured in square units.

Formula for Area of Rhombus

Area = ½ × d₁ × d₂

Where:

• d₁ = length of first diagonal

• d₂ = length of second diagonal

Example:
If the diagonals are 10 cm and 8 cm:

Area = ½ × 10 × 8
= 40 cm²

Another Formula
Area = Base × Height

Properties of a Rhombus

• All sides are equal

• Opposite sides are parallel

• Diagonals bisect each other at right angles

In conclusion, the area of a rhombus is commonly calculated using half the product of its diagonals.
