Properties of a Rhombus
- Opposite angles of the rhombus have the equal measure.
- The diagonals of the rhombus intersect each other at right angles.
- Rhombus has two diagonals that connects the opposite pair of vertices.
- Rhombus is symmetric along the diagonals.
- Every rhombus is a parallelogram.
- All the parallelograms are not a Rhombus.
- Dual polygon of a rhombus is called as a Rectangle.
- Sum of the adjacent sides of any rhombus is equal to 180 degree. That is the adjacent angles of a rhombus are supplementary.
Area of a Rhombus
Area of a Rhombus is same as that of the area of a parallelogram. Area is the product of the base and the height.
The Area of a Rhombus Formula is,
A=b * h
The base of the rhombus is the length of one of its sides and the height is the perpendicular distance between the opposite sides.
Perimeter of a Rhombus
The perimeter of a rhombus is the total sum of all the side lengths. All the sides are having equal length in a Rhombus. And so, Perimeter of a Rhombus Formula is,
Perimeter = 4s, where s is length of the sides.
