In rhombus ABCD below, AC=26 cm and BD=22 cm.Find the area of the rhombus.Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Rhombus area formula
[tex]A=\frac{d_1d_2}{2}[/tex]where d₁ and d₂ are the diagonals of the rhombus.
In this case, the diagonals are the segments AC and BD. Substituting with AC = 26 cm and BD = 22 cm, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{AC\cdot BD}{2} \\ A=\frac{26\cdot22}{2} \\ A=286\text{ }cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
