The area of a rhombus can be calculated using the formula:
Area = (d1 × d2) / 2
where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals.
In this case, we have:
- d1 = 6 cm
- d2 = 8 cm
Substituting the values into the formula gives us:
Area = (6 cm × 8 cm) / 2
Calculating this, we first multiply:
6 cm × 8 cm = 48 cm²
Then we divide by 2:
48 cm² / 2 = 24 cm²
Thus, the area of the rhombus is 24 cm².
