Question

An image of a rhombus is shown.

a rhombus with a base of 20 centimeters and a height of 17 centimeters

What is the area of the rhombus?

148 cm2
74 cm2
340 cm2
170 cm2

Answer 1

the forumla for finding the area of a rhombus is A = 1/2 x b x h. As the base is 20 and height us 17 this makes the equasion a = 1/2 x 20 x 17 therefore equaling 170cm2

Answer 2

What is rhombus ?
A rhombus is a special type of parallelogram in which two pairs of opposite sides are congruent. That means all the sides of a rhombus are equal.
What is the Area of a Rhombus?
The area of a rhombus can be defined as the amount of space enclosed by a rhombus in a two-dimensional space. To recall, a rhombus is a type of quadrilateral projected on a two dimensional (2D) plane, having four sides that are equal in length and are congruent.
Using Diagonals A = ½ × d1 × d2
Using Base and Height A = b × h
Using Trigonometry A = b2 × Sin(a)
the correct answer is the option (C) 340 cm^2
