#Function to calculate the area of a rhombus def rhombus_area(diagonal1, diagonal2) area = (diagonal1 * diagonal2) / 2 return area end

#Example Input puts rhombus_area(6, 8) # Output: 24

Explanation:
In a rhombus, the diagonals intersect at 90-degrees and bisect each other, thus we can use the formula:

`Area = (diagonal1 * diagonal2) /2`

where `diagonal1` and `diagonal2` are the lengths of the two diagonals of the rhombus. The function `rhombus_area()` takes these two diagonals as inputs and returns the calculated area.
