how do u find the area of a rhombus?
area = \(\sf \color{Red}{\frac{pq}{2}}\)
First pick one side to be the base. Any one will do, they are all the same length. Then determine the altitude - the perpendicular distance from the chosen base to the opposite side. The area is the product of these two, or, as a formula: where b is the length of the base a is the altitude (height).
formula : area=ba
What are you given ?
hey
If you are given diagonals then area = half of the product of diagonal lengths.
ABCD is a rhombus. = 5.5 cm and = 4 cm.
What are 5.5 cm and 4 cm ??
the product of 5.5 cm and 4 cm is the answer.
I guess they are diagonals. So area = 5.5*4/2 cm^2
it has to be one of these -11 cm2 -44 cm2 -22 cm2 -19 cm2
Calculate 5.5*4/2
calculate it and then choose the the option that is nearest to the actual answer.
22 cm2 ?
@M,aliha There should be factor of 1/2 in your answer.
5.5*4/2 = 11 cm^2 should be the answer.
yea you are right ShailKumar... but i just plunged in the values and then just choose the best..... but yea your method is right...
thanks to yall :)
no problem :)
