A rhombus is a type of Parallelogram only. Its diagonals perpendicularly bisect each other.
Formula of Area of Rhombus / Perimeter of Rhombus
There are 3 ways to find the area of Rhombus. Find the formulas for same and Perimeter of Rhombus in the table below.
| Perimeter = 4a
Where a is the side. |
|
Area = ah where a is the length of the side h is the altitude (height). |
|
Area =d1d2 / 2 where d1 is the length of a diagonal d2 is the length of the other diagonal |
|
Area = a2Â sinx where a is the length of any side x is an interior angle sin is the sine function |
Area of Rhombus Questions
Question: Find the area of a rhombus whose length of the diagonals is 10 cm and 14 cm respectively.
Solution: Given,
d1 = 1 cm
d2 = 14 cm
Area = (d1d2)/2
= (10 ×14)/2
= 70 cm2
