Given ABCD is a rhombus the diagonal AC and BD cut at point O
Then A O D = A O B = C O D = B O C = 900
The area of rhombus ABCD divided diagonal in four parts
So area of rhombus ABCD =area of triangle AOD+area of triangle AOB+area of triangle BOC+area of triangle COD
= 21 × A O × O D + 21 × A O × O B + 21 × B O × O C + 21 × O D × O C
= 21 × A O ( O D + O B ) + 21 O C ( B O + O D )
= 21 × A O × B D + 21 × O C × B D
= 21 B D ( A O + O C ) = 21 × B D × A C
So area of rhombus is equal to half of the product of diagonals....
