AREA OF RHOMBUS

NEW TERMS OF RHOMBUS

• Base- Any side can be considered a base. If used to calculate the area ,the corresponding altitude must be used. In the figure above one of the four possible bases has been chosen.

• Altitude -The altitude of a rhombus is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side

• Diagonals -Each of the two diagonals is the perpendicular bisector of the other

RHOMBUS

• A rhombus is actually just a special type of parallelogram. With a rhombus, all four sides are the same length.

PROPERTIES OF RHOMBUS

•Sides are equal•Opposite angles are equal•Opposite sides are parallel
