Question

Find the area of the rhombus.
A=
square units

Answer 1

Answer: A=70 square units

Explanation:

The area of a triangle can be found using the formula
`A=(1)/(2) bh`

Let 5=h and 7=b

Plug in the values and solve

`A=(1)/(2) (7)(5)`

`A=17.5`

However, since four of these triangles make up this rhombus, we can multiply the area of one of these triangles by four to find the area of the whole rhombus.

`A=17.5*4`

`A=70`
