Rhombus Area Calculator
A rhombus area can be found from its two diagonals, which cross at right angles.
How to use this calculator
- Enter both diagonal lengths in the same unit to obtain area in square units.
- Check the labels and units before using a result outside this page.
- Change one input at a time if you want to compare scenarios.
Formula and method
A = d₁d₂ ÷ 2
- A = d₁d₂ ÷ 2
- The formula uses full diagonal lengths, not side lengths or half-diagonals.
Worked examples
Worked example
Diagonals 8 cm and 6 cm.
A = 8 × 6 ÷ 2 = 24 cm².
A = 8 × 6 ÷ 2 = 24 cm².
