💡 Tip: Keep inputs in the same unit. The calculator auto-converts outputs to your preferred unit set.

How the Rhombus Area Calculator Works – Modes & Key Results

Choose the mode that matches your known values — the calculator derives all remaining dimensions automatically.

  1. Diagonals (d₁ + d₂): Enter both diagonals.
    Computes Area A = (d₁ × d₂) / 2, side a, height h, acute/obtuse angles, and Perimeter P = 4a.
  2. Side + Height (a + h): Enter a side and its perpendicular height.
    Computes Area A = a × h, both angles, diagonals, and P = 4a.
  3. Side + Angle (a + θ): Enter a side and an interior angle.
    Computes Area A = a² · sin θ, h = a · sin θ,
    diagonals via d₁ = a√(2 + 2cos θ), d₂ = a√(2 − 2cos θ), and P = 4a.
💡 Tip: If your inputs are diagonals, expect the fastest workflow for area. If you’re designing to a specific slope/angle, use Side + Angle.

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
💡 Tip: When both diagonals are known, the formula 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:

  1. Step 1 – Choose your known values: either the two diagonals (d₁, d₂), side and height (a, h), or side and angle (a, θ).
  2. Step 2 – Apply the corresponding formula:
    A = (d₁ × d₂) / 2  or
    A = a × h  or
    A = a² × sin θ
  3. Step 3 – Keep your units consistent: make sure all inputs use the same unit system (in, cm, ft, or m) for accurate results.
💡 Tip: The fastest and most accurate approach is using both diagonals — especially when angles or heights aren’t directly known.

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.
💡 Tip: Try inputting these same values in each calculator mode to see how area, height, and angles are derived from different formulas.

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).

💡 Tip: Keep inputs in one unit system (in, ft, cm, m). The calculator can convert outputs for you automatically.

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.
