Rhombus Calculator

Calculate the area, perimeter, diagonals, side length, and interior angles of a rhombus. Choose from three input methods depending on what measurements you have.

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all four sides equal in length. It is a special case of a parallelogram where all sides are the same, and its diagonals bisect each other at right angles.

Key Formulas:

Area (from diagonals): Area = (d1 x d2) / 2

Area (from side and angle): Area = a² x sin(α)

Perimeter: P = 4a (since all sides are equal)

Side from diagonals: a = sqrt((d1/2)² + (d2/2)²)

Diagonals from side and angle: d1 = 2a x sin(α/2), d2 = 2a x cos(α/2)

Properties of a Rhombus:

  • All four sides are equal in length
  • Opposite angles are equal
  • Adjacent angles are supplementary (add up to 180°)
  • Diagonals bisect each other at right angles (90°)
  • Diagonals bisect the vertex angles
  • A square is a special rhombus where all angles are 90°

Example:

A rhombus with diagonals d1 = 10 and d2 = 8:

  • Area = (10 x 8) / 2 = 40
  • Side = sqrt(5² + 4²) = sqrt(41) = 6.403
  • Perimeter = 4 x 6.403 = 25.612
