A rhombus has diagonals 58 cm and 10 cm. Find its area.
Note
Area of a rhombus = 1/2 × product of diagonals. Therefore, area = 1/2 × 58 × 10 = 290 square cm. In a rhombus, the diagonals divide the shape into four right triangles, which leads to the formula 1/2 × d₁ × d₂. Use the two diagonals, not the side length, for this area formula. So the correct choice is 290 cm².
