Answer:

90 inches squared

Explanation:

Formula for a rhombus is simply the diagonals over 2.

(The diagonals here are 12 and 15)

You could also do this intuitively. Because there is an inscribed right angle, each of the triangles inside are BH/2. Thus, the area of all four is 2BH. The base and height of each of the triangles is 6 and 7.5, so the area is 6 * 7.5 * 2.
