Area of a Rhombus

Area from the two diagonals of a rhombus.

Formula

A=12d1d2A = \frac{1}{2} d_1 d_2

Variables

d_1, d_2Diagonals

Example

Diagonals 6 and 8: A = ½·6·8 = 24 square units.

Did You Know?

A rhombus's area is half the product of its diagonals — the same formula that works for a kite.
