Answer 1

We know that area of rhombus =

2

1

d

1

×d

2

, where d

1

and d

2

are the diagonals.

∴ Area of the given rhombus =

2

1

×8×6cm

2

= 24cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of a rhombus

= $\frac{1}{2} \times diagonal \: 1 \: \times diagonal \: 2$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times 8cm \: \times 13.5cm$

= $54 {cm}^{2}$

Hence , the area of the rhombus is 54cm²
