Formula

The Rhombus Calculator uses the formula:

Area = Diagonal 1 × Diagonal 2 ÷ 2

Key terms explained

Perimeter
The total distance around the outside of a two-dimensional shape.
Area
The amount of two-dimensional space a shape covers, measured in square units.

Frequently asked questions

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

The diagonals bisect each other at right angles, so each side is √((d₁/2)² + (d₂/2)²). For 6 and 8 the side is 5 units.

All four sides are equal, so the perimeter is four times one side. For diagonals 6 and 8 that is 20 units.

Yes. A square is a special rhombus whose diagonals are equal and whose angles are all right angles.

The Rhombus Calculator uses the formula: Area = Diagonal 1 × Diagonal 2 ÷ 2. For example, with diagonal 1 of 6 units and diagonal 2 of 8 units, the area is 24.0000.

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