To solve the problem you mus apply the folllowing proccedure:
1. You have that the rhombus RSTV is RT = 16 cm and SV = 12cm. Therefore, to calculate the area you must apply the formula for calculate the area of a rhombus, as below:
A=(RT)(SV)/2
2. Therefore, when you susbtitute the values of RT and SV into the formula shown above, you obtain the the area of the rhombus is:
A=(16 cm)(12 cm)/2
A=96 cm²
3. Then, as you can see, the answer is:
The area of the rhombus is 96 cm².
