The area of a rhombus is half the product of the diagonals. A = 1/2bc.
The diagonals (of length b and c) intersect at right angles and form two congruent triangles either side of one chosen diagonal.
The area of one such triangle is 1/2b x 1/2c (area of a triangle = 1/2 base x height).
The area of both triangles and therefore the area of the rhombus is 2(1/2b x 1/2c) = 1/2bc.

The diagonals of the rhombus are in the ratio 3 4 the perimeter of the rhombus is 40cm find the lengths of the sides and of the diagonals?
The length of the sides of the rhombus are 10cm, as a rhombus has equal sides. since the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular, ratio of side of rhombus to 1/2 a diagonal to 1/2 of another diagonal is 5:4:3 (pythagorean thriple), hence ratio of side of rhombus to 1 diagonal to another diagonal is 5:8:6. since 5 units = 10cm 8 units = 16cm 6 units = 12cm and there are your diagonals.
Find the area of a rhombus?
A = baWhere A = areab = length of the basea = altitude (height).
What is the area of a rhombus with a perimeter of 20 meters and a diagonal of 8 meters?
Constructing the figure, we find the other diagonal to have length 10.The area of the rhombus would thus be 10x8x0.5=40
Find the area of a rhombus whose one side is 13 cm and the altitude is 10 cm?
130 is the area.
Do you add or multiply length and width?
If you want to find the area of a rectangle (inclusively a square), rhombus, or parallelogram, you multiply.
Find the area of a rhombus with diagonals that measure 8 and 10?
Find the area of a rhombs with diagonals that measure 8 and 10.
How do you find the measures of a rhombus with two diagonals?
That will depend on the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus which are of different lengths and intersect each other at right angles but knowing the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus it is then possible to work out its perimeter and area.
Find the area of a rhombus with diagonals of 9 cm and 12 cm?
54
How do I find the area of a rhombus with just one diagonal?
If side is given too, then you can find area with one diagonal. As diagonals bisect each other in a rhombus at 90°, Using Pythogoras Theorem: (Half d1)² = (side)² - (Half d2)²
There is a yellow rhombus on the flag of Brazil The long diagonal on the rhombus measures 7.0 units The short diagonal on the rhombus measures 4.4 units The area of any rhombus is half the product?
That is one of the ways of finding the area of a rhombus. The area is half the product of the diagonals. In this case, 1/2 of 7 x 4.4 or .154. You can also find the area of a rhombus by using one side as the base and finding an altitude for that base and multiplying them. There is a third way using trigonometry.
What is the area of rhombus DEFG if DF is 10 and EF is 11?
If those are its diagonals then area is: 0.5*10*11 = 55 square units other wise use Pythagoras to find diagonal EG because area of a rhombus is 0.5 times the product of its diagonals.
What can you find about the diagonals of a rhombus?
The diagonals are not equal in length but thet bisect each other at 90 degrees
Find the area of a rhombus with diagonals of 8 cm and 7 cm?
1/2 x 8 x 7 = 28cm2
How do you find the measure of a rhombus?
The answer depends on the measure of WHAT! Side length, angles, length of diagonals, area? And the answers to these depend on what information is given.
How do you find the value of x in a rhombus?
To find the value of x in a rhombus, use these properties. All sides of a rhombus are the same length. Opposite angles of a rhombus are the same size and measure. Intersection of the diagonals of a rhombus form right angles. Sides are perpendicular. The diagonals of rhombus bisect each other. Adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees.
How should you find the side when two diagonals are given in a rombhus?
The diagonals of a rhombus (not rombhus) bisect one another at right angles. The sides of the rhombus form the hypotenuses of triangles whose other sides are half the diagonals. So use Pythagoras.
How do you find the length of the rhombus when the length of the diagonals are given?
By dividing itImproved Answer:-A rhombus has 4 equal sides and its diagonals bisect each other at 90 degrees thus forming 4 equal right angle triangles and by using Pythagoras' theorem any of the 4 equal sides can be found.
