Question

What is the area of rhombus ABCD ? Enter your answer in the box. Do not round at any steps. units²A(-1,0) B(5,-3) C(-1-6) D(-7,-3)

Answer 1

36 units²

Explanation:

The area of a rhombus is given by half the product of the lengths of the diagonals.

Vertical diagonal AC has length 0 -(-6) = 6 units.

Horizontal diagonal BD has length 5 -(-7) = 12 units.

Then the area is ...

... A = (1/2)(6 units)(12 units) = 36 units²
