Answer:

168 cm²

Explanation:

The area of a quadrilateral with diagonals that intersect at right angles is half the product of the lengths of the diagonals. A rhombus is one such quadrilateral, so the area of this one is ...

A = 1/2(d1)(d2)

A = (1/2)(21 cm)(16 cm) = 168 cm²

The area of the rhombus is 168 cm².
