The area of a rhombus is half the product of its diagonals.
96 ft^2
The area of a rhombus is half the product of its diagonals.
A=d_1* d_2/2
From the figure, we can see that we are given half a length of each diagonal.
We just need to multiply the given lengths by 2 to get the diagonal lengths of the rhombus. d_1=8*2 ⇒ d_1= 16 [0.5em] d_2=6*2 ⇒ d_2= 12 Using the diagonal lengths, let's find the area of the rhombus.
d_1= 16, d_2= 12

Calculate quotient
The area of the rhombus is 96 square feet.
