Question

What is the area of the rhombus shown below?A. 97.5 square unitsB. 14 square unitsO C. 195 square unitsD. 128.7 square units

Answer 1

The area of the rhombus is 97.5 square units

STEP 1:

Write out the formula and the necessary values:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area of a Rhombus= }(1)/(2)* diagonal1\text{ }* diagonal2 \\ \text{Diagonal}1(AC)=13 \\ \text{Diagonal2}(BD)=15 \end{gathered}`

STEP 2

Insert the values into the equation:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area = 0.5 x 13 x 15} \\ \text{Area}=\text{ 97.5} \end{gathered}`
