Question

Find the area of the rhombus.15 in8 inA = [ ? ] in=

Answer 1

The Solution:

Given the rhombus below:

We are required to find the area of the rhombus.

Recall:

So, applying:

`Area=(d_1* d_2)/(2)`

Where

`\begin{gathered} d_1=\text{ diagonal 1=15+15=30 in} \\ d_2=\text{d}\imaginaryI\text{agonal 2=8+8=16 }\imaginaryI\text{n} \end{gathered}`

Substituting these values in the formula for area, we get

`Area=(16+30_)/(2)=(46)/(2)=23\text{ in}^2`

Therefore, the correct answer is 23 square in.
