a rhombus with a base of 18 centimeters and a height of 15.5 centimeters

What is the area of the rhombus?

16.75 cm2
33.5 cm2
139.5 cm2
279 cm2

Answer 1

D) 279 cm²

Explanation:

Area of a rhombus formula:

`A=bh`

This formula is also used for squares and rectangles.

So, we can substitute in our values such as:

A=(18)(15.5)

simplify

A=279

Now, add our label and units:

A=279 cm²

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

• 279 cm²

Explanation:

Formula used,

Area of rhombus = Base × height

Substituting the values,

`\longrightarrow`Area = 18 × 15.5

`\longrightarrow` Area = 279 cm²

Therefore, 279 cm² is the area of the rhombus .
