Rhombus Area Calculation:

  •  d1 =
    Diagonal 1

    Length of the first diagonal.

  •  d2 =
    Diagonal 2

    Length of the second diagonal.

  •  u =
    Units

    Optional unit label to append to the area.

  •  A =
    Area

    Area enclosed by the rhombus.

  • Decimals

    Choose the number of decimals to show in your answer. This is also known as significant figures. Select an appropriate amount of significant figures based on the precision of the input numbers.

Rhombus Area Formula

A rhombus can be split into four right triangles by its diagonals. Its area is half the product of the diagonal lengths.

A = (d1 x d2) / 2

Live Diagram

The diagonals are drawn through the current rhombus so you can see the measurements the formula uses.

Rhombus Area Variables

Diagonal 1 and Diagonal 2
The two corner-to-corner distances through the rhombus.
Area
The amount of two-dimensional surface inside the rhombus.

How the Calculation Works

  1. Measure both diagonals.
  2. Multiply the diagonal lengths together.
  3. Divide the result by 2.

Rhombus Area Example

What is the area of a rhombus with diagonals 10 and 8?

  • A = (10 x 8) / 2
  • A = 80 / 2
  • A = 40 square units

A rhombus with diagonals 10 and 8 has an area of 40 square units.
