Question

If x = 9 units, y = 3 units, and h = 7 units, find the area of the rhombus shown above using decomposition. A. 21 square units B. 13 square units C. 72 square units D. 63 square units

Answer 1

63 square units

Explanation:

Area of the rhombus = Base × Height

Given

Base = x = 9unit

Height = h = 7units

Substitute into the formula

Area of the rhombus = 9×7

Area = 63units²

Hence the required area of the rhombus is 63 square units
