Question

How do you find the area of a rhombus with diagonal lengths of 12 cm and 8 cm?

Answer 1

`48cm^2`

Explanation:

The area of a rhombus is `1/2` (product of diagonals)

Thus the area is `1/2 (12xx8) = 6xx8`
`=48cm^2`

Answer 2

`A=48(cm)^2`

Explanation:

The area of a rhombus is `A=1/2(L_1)(L_2)` where `L_1` and `L_2` are diagonals of the rhombus. Inputting values:
`A=1/2(8cm)(12cm)`
`A=(4cm)(12cm)`
`A=48(cm)^2`
