Answer:
64 in² (Answer B)
Explanation:
Note that this rhombus is made up of a large upper triangle and a large lower triangle. Each of these two triangles has base 2(8 in) (or 16 in) and height 4 in.
The area-of-a-triangle formula is
A = (1/2)(base)(height), which here is
A = (1/2)(16 in)(4 in) = 32 in².
Now double that, because we have an upper triangle of area 32 in² and a lower triangle of the same area 32 in². So the total area of the rhombus is 64 in²
