A rhombus is a quadrilateral in which length of all the sides is equal. It is also known as equilateral quadrilateral since equilateral means that all the sides are of equal length. A rhombus looks like a diamond.
Properties of Rhombus
- All sides are of equal length.
- Opposite sides are parallel.
- Opposite angles are equal.
- Diagonals bisect each other at 90⁰.
Area of Rhombus
Area of rhombus can be calculated by 3 different formulae:
- When the height and length of the side is given.
A= H x a
- When the length of side and angle of side is given.
A= a² sin(A)
- When the length if the diagonals is given.
A= (p x q)/2
ParameterofRhombus
The formula to find the area of rhombus is same as square because in rhombus also length of all sides is equal.
P= 4a
