Question

Find the area of the rhombus. 14 ft : 6. 1 14- ft 2 A=boh •14 ft?

Answer 1

The area of rhombus is

`A=\text{base}* height`

In our case

`\begin{gathered} \text{base}=14(1)/(2) \\ \text{height}=14 \end{gathered}`

However, in order to compute the product, we must conver the mixed fraction into a simple fraction form, that is

`14(1)/(2)=(2\cdot14+1)/(2)=(28+1)/(2)=(29)/(2)`

Therefore, the our area is given by

`\begin{gathered} A=(29)/(2)*14 \\ A=(29*14)/(2) \\ A=29*7 \end{gathered}`

since 29 x 7 is equal to 203, the answer is A= 203 ft^2.
