Frequently asked questions

Multiply the two diagonals and halve the result: A = ½ × d₁ × d₂. Diagonals of 8 and 6 give an area of 24 square units.

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of equal adjacent sides, and its diagonals cross at right angles.

Because the diagonals are perpendicular, they split the kite into right triangles whose areas combine to ½ × d₁ × d₂.

Yes. A rhombus is a special kite with all four sides equal, so the same diagonal area formula applies.

Enter the diagonal 1. Enter the diagonal 2. Read off your area — the calculator updates automatically, with no button to press.
