9-1 Area of a Rhombus - GEOMETRY

The video tutorial explains how to find the area of a rhombus, also referred to as a 'crambus.' It begins by describing the properties of a rhombus, such as having four equal sides and diagonals that intersect at right angles. The instructor introduces the formula for calculating the area using the diagonals and demonstrates it through an example problem. The problem involves using the Pythagorean theorem to find a missing diagonal length. The tutorial concludes with the final area calculation, emphasizing the importance of understanding the geometric properties and formulas.
