The area of a rhombus is given by the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 0.5 \times d_1 \times d_2 \][/tex]

If the diagonals of the rhombus are 45.50 cm and 32.40 cm, find the area of the rhombus.



Answer :

To find the area of a rhombus, we can use the formula for the area given by:

[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 0.5 \times d_1 \times d_2 \][/tex]

where [tex]\( d_1 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( d_2 \)[/tex] are the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus.

Given that the lengths of the diagonals are:
[tex]\[ d_1 = 45.50 \, \text{cm} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ d_2 = 32.40 \, \text{cm} \][/tex]

We substitute these values into the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 0.5 \times 45.50 \, \text{cm} \times 32.40 \, \text{cm} \][/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 0.5 \times 1474.2 \, \text{cm}^2 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 737.1 \, \text{cm}^2 \][/tex]

Therefore, the area of the rhombus is [tex]\( 737.1 \, \text{cm}^2 \)[/tex].
