The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 12 cm and 16 cm. Find the area of rhombus

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`48 cm^(2)`

Area of rhombus`=(1)/(2)xx` product of diagonals `=((1)/(2)xx12xx16)cm^(2)=96 cm^(2)`.
Area of figure formed by joining the midpoints `=(1)/(2)xx`area of rhombus `= 48 cm^(2)`.
