Question

What is the area of rhombus ABCD ?

Answer 1

Answer: The area of rhombus is 36 square units.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

ABCD is a rhombus, with all sides equal i.e. 3 cm.

As we know the formula ,

`\text{ Area of rhombus}=(1)/(2)* d_1* d_2\\ where\\d_1\ and\ d_2\text{ are two diagonals}`

So, here in our case,

`d_1=AC=6\ units\\d_2=BD=12\ units`

So, now , we'll use the formula for area of rhombus ,

`\text{ Area of rhombus}=(1)/(2)* 6* 12=(72)/(2)=36\text{ units}`

Hence , the area of rhombus is 36 square units.
