Question

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

12ft
5ft

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=(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=(12* 5)/(2)`

`Area=(60)/(2)`

`Area=30`

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