KS2 Primary Maths Age 9-13 - Area - Problem: - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to find the area of a shaded rhombus within a rectangle. The rhombus's vertices are midpoints of the rectangle's sides. The tutorial calculates the area by subtracting the area of four triangles from the rectangle's area. The rectangle's area is 48 cm², and each triangle's area is 6 cm², leading to a rhombus area of 24 cm². The video also discusses the marks distribution for the problem and emphasizes the importance of knowing geometric formulas for exams.

What is the total area of the four triangles mentioned?

What final area of the rhombus is concluded in the text?
