Example Question #101 : Areas And Perimeters Of Polygons
Figure NOT drawn to scale.
The above depicts Rhombus 
Give the area of Rhombus 
The area of any parallelogram is the product of the length of its base and that of a corresponding altitude. We can take 
All four sides of a rhombus have the same length, so we can find 
Now multiply the lengths of this base and the altitude to get the area:
