Question

How to find height of rhombus

Answer 1

To find the height of a rhombus, use the formula height = area ÷ base. If you know the diagonals of a rhombus but not its area, use the formula area = (d1 x d2) ÷ 2, then apply the area to the first formula.

Answer 2

If you know the diagonals and base of a rhombus but not the area, use the formula area = (d1 x d2) ÷ 2. For example, if you know d1 is 4 cm and d2 is 6 cm, you work out (4 x 6) ÷ 2 = 12. You know the area is 12 cm2. If the base is 2 cm, work out 12 ÷ 2 = 6. The height of the rhombus is 6 cm.
