We are all familiar with the shape of a 2D diamond. In Euclidean geometry, this shape is known as a rhombus. A rhombus is a quadrilateral (having four sides) of equal lengths but in the shape of a parallelogram. It is a particular instance of a parallelogram in which the diagonals cross at 90 degrees.
The diagonals of the rhombus bisect its interior angles and form 4 right-angle isosceles triangles, which are similar and congruent to each other. The adjacent angles of a rhombus equal 180 degrees in value, and all four angles together constitute 360 degrees. Now that we have discussed some major characteristics like the shape, angles, and diagonals of a rhombus, let us discuss the important parameters like the perimeter and area of a rhombus.
Area: The area of a rhombus is described as the amount of space swept by the rhombus in the 2D plane. The area of a rhombus is formulated as ½ (diagonal 1 x diagonal 2). The lengths of the diagonals determine the area of the rhombus. Perimeter: The perimeter of a rhombus is the total distance of its boundaries. Just like the perimeter of a square with side ‘s’, the perimeter of a rhombus with each side ‘l’ is written as 4l.
Let us now learn about the various properties of a rhombus. They are mentioned below:
