When you are calculating the area of a kite, you can use the Area of a Parallelogram Formula or the Area of a Kite Formula.
This is because all rhombuses are parallelograms and all rhombuses are also kites.
\[A=\frac{1}{2}pq\]
\[A=bh\]
How to Find the Area of a Rhombus
- Identify which measurements are given to you (or are easy to find).
- If you use the Area of a Parallelogram Formula, you will need to know the side length of the rhombus and the perpendicular height.
- If you use the Area of a Kite Formula, you will need to know the diagonals of the rhombus.
- Plug the measurements into the appropriate formula.
