Answer:

Area of rhombus is 24 square units.

Explanation:

We have been given that the diagonals of a rhombus are 6 and 8.

We know that the area of a rhombus of diagonal length x and y is given by

A=(1)/(2)xy

Substituting the known values, we get

$A=(1)/(2)\cdot6\cdot8$

Simplifying, we get

$A=3\cdot8\\\\A=24$

Hence, area of rhombus is 24 square units.
