Solution:

Note that:

  • Area of rhombus formula: 1/2 x (Product of the diagonals)

Use the formula to find the area of each rhombus.

  • Area of rhombus formula: 1/2 x (Product of the diagonals)
  • => Area of rhombus: 1/2 x (3.5 x 5)
  • => Area of rhombus: 1/2 x (17.5)
  • => Area of rhombus: 1/2 x 17.5
  • => Area of rhombus: 8.75 cm²

Correct option is C.
