Question

What’s the area
A. 64
B. 44
C. 30.25
D. 13.75

Answer 1

Answer: B. 44

Step-by-step explanation: The area of a rhombus is base times height. The height is 5.5 cm, and the base is 8 cm. To find the base, add 2.5 and 5.5.

8 x 5.5 = 44

The area is 44 cm^2

Answer 2

B) 44

Explanation:

Let's start with the triangles. Normally, when dealing with triangles, you would use the formula (B*H*1/2), but since there's two identical triangles, we can just do (B*H) and get the area for both:

2.5*5.5=13.75

Then to solve for the square, it is also (B*H):

5.5*5.5=30.25

At this point, to solve for the total area, you just add the areas together:

13.75+30.25=44

Hope this helps!
