Question

What is the area of the rhombus shown below?A. 97.5 square unitsB. 14 square unitsO C. 195 square unitsD. 128.7 square units

Answer 1

The area of the rhombus is 97.5 square units

STEP 1:

Write out the formula and the necessary values:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Area of a Rhombus= }\frac{1}{2}\times diagonal1\text{ }\times diagonal2 \\ \text{Diagonal}1(AC)=13 \\ \text{Diagonal2}(BD)=15 \end{gathered}$

STEP 2

Insert the values into the equation:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Area = 0.5 x 13 x 15} \\ \text{Area}=\text{ 97.5} \end{gathered}$
