Question

Find the area of the rhombus whose diagonals are 5 cm and 6 cm.

Answer 1

Given: Diagonals d₁ = 5 cm, d₂ = 6 cm.

Step-wise calculation:

1. Formula for area of a rhombus:

Area = `(d_1 xx d_2)/2`

2. Substitute values:

Area = `(5 xx 6)/2`

3. Multiply:

5 × 6 = 30

4. Divide:

`30/2 = 15`

The area of the rhombus is 15 cm².
