an image of a rhombus is shown. what is the area of the rhombus? 15.75 cm² 31.5 cm² 124 cm² 248 cm²
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall the area formula of a rhombus
The area formula of a rhombus is (A = base\times height).
Step2: Identify the base and height
In the given rhombus, the base (b = 16\space cm) and the height (h=15.5\space cm).
Step3: Calculate the area
Substitute the values into the formula: (A=16\times15.5). [ \begin{align*} A&=(10 + 6)\times15.5\ &=10\times15.5+6\times15.5\ &=155+93\ & = 248 \end{align*} ]
Answer:
(248\space cm^{2})
