Question

What is the area of rhombus ABCD ?

Answer 1

Answer: The area of rhombus is 36 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

ABCD is a rhombus, with all sides equal i.e. 3 cm.

As we know the formula ,

$\text{ Area of rhombus}=\frac{1}{2}\times d_1\times d_2\\ where\\d_1\ and\ d_2\text{ are two diagonals}$

So, here in our case,

$d_1=AC=6\ units\\d_2=BD=12\ units$

So, now , we'll use the formula for area of rhombus ,

$\text{ Area of rhombus}=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 12=\frac{72}{2}=36\text{ units}$

Hence , the area of rhombus is 36 square units.
