Program to calculate area and perimeter of a rhombus whose diagonals are givenWhat is rhombus in C++?


What is rhombus?

In geometry, rhombus is a quadrilateral with four sides of same length. Rhombus resembles with the shape diamond. If the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angle than it becomes square.

Properties of rhombus are −

  • equal sides
  • Opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal making it parallelogram
  • diagonals bisects at right angle

Given below is the figure of rhombus

Problem

Given with the diagonals, let’s say, d1 and d2 the task is to find the area and perimeter of a rhombus where area is the space occupied by the shape and perimeter is the space that its boundaries will cover

To calculate area and perimeter of a cuboid there is a formula −

Example

Input-: d1=6 and d2=12
Output-: The perimeter of rhombus with given diagonals are :26
   The area of rhombus with given diagonals are :36

ALGORITHM

Start
Step 1 -> declare function to calculate perimeter of rhombus
   int perimeter(int d1, int d2)
      Declare variable long long int perimeter
      Set perimeter = 2 * sqrt(pow(d1, 2) + pow(d2, 2))
      Print perimeter
Step 2 -> Declare function to calculate area of rhombus
   int area(int d1, int d2)
      Declare long long int area
      Set area = (d1 * d2) / 2
      Print area
Step 3 -> In main()
   Declare variable int d1 = 6, d2 = 12
   Call perimeter(d1, d2)
   Call area(d1, d2)
Stop

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
// program to calculate perimeter of rhombus
int perimeter(int d1, int d2){
   long long int perimeter;
   perimeter = 2 * sqrt(pow(d1, 2) + pow(d2, 2));
   cout<< "The perimeter of rhombus with given diagonals are :"<<perimeter;
}
//program to calculate area of rhombus
int area(int d1, int d2){
   long long int area;
   area = (d1 * d2) / 2;
   cout<<"\nThe area of rhombus with given diagonals are :"<< area;
}
int main(){
   int d1 = 6, d2 = 12;
   perimeter(d1, d2);
   area(d1, d2);
   return 0;
}

Output

The perimeter of rhombus with given diagonals are :26
The area of rhombus with given diagonals are :36
