Areas of Rhombus

Areas of Rhombus

To get the area of a rhombus, we first draw a line segment from one vertex to another vertex ( b). Then we draw a perpendicular line segment from a third vertex to the base ( h). The rhombus consists of two triangles with base ( b) and height ( h).

The area of the rhoimbus is given by the formula:

Area of rhombus = bh

We can also obtain the area of a rhombus, given the lengths of its diagonals.

If the lengths of the diagonals are a and b, then area of the rhombus is given by the formula:

Area of rhombus =
