The geometric shape called a rhombus is a quadrilateral with 4 side lengths that are equal. The opposite sides of a rhombus and the opposite angles of a rhombus are equal. The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other (they intersect in the middle of each line at right angles).
To find the area of the rhombus we multiply the lengths of the diagonals and divide by 2. The area formula for a rhombus is therefore “diagonal 1 x diagonal 2, divided by 2”. Remember that area is measured in square units, e.g. mm2, cm2 or m2.
Looking forward, students can then progress to additional area worksheets and other geometry worksheets, for example an angles in polygons worksheet or area and circumference of a circle worksheet.
For more teaching and learning support on Geometry our GCSE maths lessons provide step by step support for all GCSE maths concepts.
With Third Space Learning's secondary maths tutoring programmes, students in Year 7-11 receive regular one to one maths tutoring to address gaps, build confidence and boost progress.
"My confidence in the tutoring is high. We've had some phenomenal results. I even had one girl get a Grade 8 this year; she came to every tutoring session."
