Question

Find the area of a rhombus whose diagonals are of length 8 cm and 6 cm.

• A. $20c{m}^2$
• B. $42$ $c{m}^2$
• C. $14$ $c{m}^2$
• D. $24$ $c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $24$ $c{m}^2$

We know that area of rhombus = $\frac{1}{2}{d}_1\times d_2,$ where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are the diagonals.
$\therefore$ Area of the given rhombus = $\frac{1}{2}\times 8\times 6c{m}^2$ = $24c{m}^2$
Hence, the area of the given rhombus is $24c{m}^2$
