Square with Rhombus Cutout

Square with Rhombus Cutout: a composite plane figure made of a square with side 6.8 cm, minus a rhombus with diagonals 4.6 and 3.4 cm. It is a classic primary school geometry problem (“Frames & Cutouts”). The net area is 38.42 cm² and the total perimeter is 38.64 cm, including 11.44 cm along the inner hole.

How to find the area

Area formula: A = l² − ½·D·d

Split the figure into basic shapes, find each area, add the joined parts and subtract the cut-outs: A = 46.24 − 7.82 = 38.42 cm².
