Question

Joseph said that a rhombus with side lengths of 6 meters and a height of 4 meters has the same area as a parallelogram with a base of 12 meters and a height of 2 meters. Is he correct? Critique Joseph's reasoning. help plzz​

Answer 1

He was not correct because well… it’s obvious

Answer 2

Area(s) of both rhombus and parallelogram are equal at 24 meters squared. Therefore Joseph had the correct reasoning in regards to area(s) of both rhombus and parallelogram are equal at 24 meters squared.

Explanation:

To equate area of the rhombus, multiply the side length and height of rhombus in meters. (6 meters×4 meters=Area of 24 m°2). Area of parallelogram = (12meters ×2 meters= 24 m°2. Area(s) of both rhombus and parallelogram are equal at 24 meters squared. therefore
