Rhomboid

Description for the calculation of rhomboids

Calculate Rhomboids

A rhomboid is a quadrangular geometric shape and has the following characteristics

  • It has four sides and four corners

  • The angles of the opposite corners are identical

  • The opposite sides are parallel to each other and are the same length

  • The diagonals have different lengths

Formulas for Rhomboid calculation


Calculate Area \(A\) of a rhomboid

\(A = b · h_a\)

\(A=a · h_b\)

\(A=a · b· sin(α)\)


Calculate Length \(a\) of a rhomboid

\(\displaystyle a = \frac{A}{h_b}\)

\(\displaystyle a = \frac{A}{b · sin(α)}\)

\(\displaystyle a = \frac{A }{ b · sin(β)}\)


Calculate Width \(b\) of a rhomboid

\(\displaystyle b = \frac{A}{h_a}\)

\(\displaystyle b = \frac{A}{a · sin(α)}\)

\(\displaystyle b = \frac{A }{ a · sin(β)}\)


Calculate Height a \(h_a\) of a rhomboid

\(\displaystyle h_a = \frac{A}{b}\)

\(\displaystyle h_a = sin(α) · a\)

\(\displaystyle h_a = sin(β) · a\)


Calculate Height b \(h_b\) of a rhomboid

\(\displaystyle h_b = \frac{A}{a}\)

\(\displaystyle h_b= sin(α) ·b\)

\(\displaystyle h_b = sin(β) ·b\)


Calculate Perimeter \(P\) of a rhomboid

\(\displaystyle P = 2 ·(a + b)\)

\(\displaystyle P = 2 · \frac{h_a}{sin(α)} + (2 · b)\)


Calculate long Diagonal \(e\) of a rhomboid

\(\displaystyle e = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2 - 2 · a · b · cos(β)}\)


Calculate short Diagonal \(f\) of a rhomboid

\(\displaystyle f = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2; - 2 · a · b · cos(α)}\)


Calculate Angle Alpha \(α\) of a rhomboid

\(\displaystyle α = asin\left(\frac{A}{a · b}\right)\)
