Rhombus Area Formula (Quick Sheet)
This section provides a concise summary of all key rhombus formulas — ideal for quick reference and classroom or field use.
- Using diagonals:
A = (d₁ × d₂) / 2
- Using side & height:
A = a × h
- Using side & angle θ:
A = a² × sin θ
- Perimeter:
P = 4a
- Diagonal formulas (from a & θ):
d₁ = a√(2 + 2cos θ)
,d₂ = a√(2 − 2cos θ)
- Height from side & θ:
h = a·sin θ
A = (d₁ × d₂)/2
is the fastest and most accurate method for any rhombus.How do you find the area of a rhombus?
To calculate the area of a rhombus, follow these simple steps depending on which measurements you know:
- Step 1 – Choose your known values: either the two diagonals (d₁, d₂), side and height (a, h), or side and angle (a, θ).
- Step 2 – Apply the corresponding formula:
A = (d₁ × d₂) / 2
or
A = a × h
or
A = a² × sin θ
- Step 3 – Keep your units consistent: make sure all inputs use the same unit system (in, cm, ft, or m) for accurate results.
Example Calculations
Here are practical examples showing how the Rhombus Area Calculator works across its three modes — diagonals, side & height, and side & angle:
- 1) Using Diagonals:
d₁ = 10 in, d₂ = 14 in →
A = 70.00 in², side ≈ 8.60 in, height ≈ 8.14 in,
perimeter ≈ 34.41 in, angles ≈ 71.08° / 108.92°. - 2) Using Side + Height:
a = 12 cm, h = 9 cm →
A = 108 cm², perimeter = 48 cm. - 3) Using Side + Angle:
a = 8 m, θ = 40° →
A = a² × sinθ = 41.21 m², h = 5.14 m, P = 32 m.

1 in = 2.54 cm, 1 ft = 12 in, and 1 in² = 6.4516 cm² — to verify your results across different units.
FAQs – Rhombus
What is a rhombus?
A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides equal. Opposite sides are parallel, and opposite angles are equal.
What is the area of a rhombus?
You can use A = (d₁ × d₂)/2
, or A = a × h
, or A = a² × sin θ
depending on which values are known.
How do you find the area of a rhombus?
Pick the formula that matches your inputs (diagonals, side+height, or side+angle). The diagonals formula is usually the fastest.
How to find area of 4 unequal sides?
A rhombus cannot have four unequal sides. For a generic quadrilateral, use Bretschneider’s formula or a Trapezoid/Quadrilateral calculator.
Is a square a rhombus?
Yes. Every square is a rhombus with all angles 90°. Not every rhombus is a square.
Is a rhombus 180 or 360?
The sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral (including a rhombus) is 360°.
Is the formula of rhombus?
Main formulas: A = (d₁ × d₂)/2
, A = a × h
, A = a² × sin θ
.
Rhombus perimeter Formula
The perimeter is P = 4a
.
Rhombus area calculator with perimeter
If only the perimeter is known, first find the side: a = P/4
, then use A = a × h
or A = a² × sin θ
(you’ll still need height or an interior angle).
Wrap-Up: Final Notes & Pro Tips
Before you wrap up your calculations, here are quick takeaways and expert tips to get the most from the Rhombus Area Calculator:
- Check your inputs: Keep units consistent — inches, cm, ft, or m — to avoid scaling errors.
- Switch modes smartly: Try both diagonal and side–angle modes to verify results and learn the relationships between formulas.
- Remember: Every square is a rhombus with 90° angles — use the tool to confirm equal sides and right angles.
- Quick trick: Need height fast? Divide the area by one side (h = A ÷ a).
- Pro move: Use the perimeter output (P = 4a) to jump to related tools —
Parallelogram or
Square calculators.
