Question

If the diagonals of a rhombus are 8 cm and 10 cm respectively what will be the area of the rhombus?

Answer 1

the diagonal of the rhombhus is 40 cm

Answer 2

GivEn:

• Diagonals of Rhombus = 8cm and 10cm

To Find:

• Area of the Rhombus?

Formula to be Used:

$\\ \bigstar{\underline{\boxed{\sf\blue{Area_{(Rhombus)} = \dfrac{1}{2} d_{1} d_{2} }}}}$

Where as:

• d¹ = 1st Diagonal
• d² = 2nd diagonal

Solution:

After substituting Values in Formula;

⟹ ½ × d¹ × d²

⟹ ½ × 8 × 10

⟹ 40 cm²

Hence,

The area of the Rhombus is 40cm².

Xtra Dose:

• The Diagonals of a Rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

• It has a Rotational Symmetry.

• A Rhombus is type of Parallelogram.
