Area of a Rhombus

The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the following formula.

$A = b h$

Here, $b$ represents the side length of the rhombus and $h$ the distance between two parallel sides.

An alternative formula for the area of a rhombus can be derived using the lengths of its diagonals, $d_{1}$ and $d_{2} .$

The area of the rhombus is then written as half the product of the diagonals' lengths.

$A = \frac{1}{2} d_{1} d_{2}$
