Question

Find the area of the rhombus . Each indicated distance is half the length of its respective diagonal.

Answer 1

Given:

The length of diagonals of a rhombus are 12 ft and 5 ft.

To find:

The area of the rhombus

Solution:

Area of a rhombus is:

$Area=\dfrac{d_1d_2}{2}$

Where, $d_1,d_2$ are two diagonals of the rhombus.

It is given that the length of diagonals of the rhombus are 12 ft and 5 ft.

Putting $d_1=12,d_2=5$, we get

$Area=\dfrac{12\times 5}{2}$

$Area=\dfrac{60}{2}$

$Area=30$

Therefore, the area of the rhombus is 30 square ft.
