Q3. - Geometry

Question

Give two formulas that can be used to find the area of a rhombus. (Hint: Every rhombus is also a _______).

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The two formulas that can be used to find the area of a rhombus are$A=\frac{1}{2}{d}_1{d}_2$ and $A=bh$.

Step 1. Given information.

Base$b=9$ and Height$h=4$ .

Step 2. Area of Rhombus.

Area of rhombus can be found using the diagonals 

$A=\frac{1}{2}{d}_1{d}_2$

Where,$d_1{d}_2$ are the two diagonals of rhombus.

Step 3. Concept used.

As every rhombus is a parallelogram, then we can find the area of rhombus using base and height.

Thus, the area of rhombus can be

$A=bh$

Therefore, the two formulas that can be used to find the area of a rhombus are $A=\frac{1}{2}{d}_1{d}_2$ and $A=bh$.
