.
D1=diagonal=12; D2=diagonal2=10
The diagonals form 4 right triangle with legs=(1/2)(D1) and (1/2)(D2)
One leg is the base (b), the other is the height(h).
The area of one of the triangles=1/2(b)(h)=(1/2)(1/2)(D1)(1/2)(D2)=
(1/8)(D1)(D2). Since there are 4 triangles, the total area is:
A=(4)(1/8)(D1)(D2)=(D1)(D2)/2
Put in values.

ANSWER: The area of the rhombus is 60 square units.
