Question

Calculate the area of the rhombus shown below if KN = 13.7 and JL = 30.8

Answer 1

area of rhombus is given by:

$Area=\frac{pq}{2}$

where p and q are diagonals of rhombus

In a rhombus diagonals bisect each other.

so if KN=13.7

KM = 2KN

KM =2(13.7) = 27.4

$Area=\frac{JL*KM}{2}$

$Area=\frac{13.7 * 30.8}{2}$

Area = 421.96/2=210.98

Answer : Area of rhombus =210.98
