The perimeter of a rhombus:

To find the perimeter of a rhombus, just add up all the lengths of the sides:

Perimeter of a rhombus = x+x+x+x = 4x

The area of a rhombus:
To find the area of a rhombus, multiply the lengths of the two diagonals and divide by 2 (same as multiplying by 1/2):

Area of a rhombus = (1/2)ab

The sides and angles of a rhombus:
