Question

if x = 14 units and h = 9 units, then what is the area of the rhombus pictured above? a = b·h
a. 19 square units
b. 56 square units
c. 126 square units
d. 70 square units

Explanation:

Step1: Identify base and height

The base $b = x = 14$ units and height $h=9$ units.

Step2: Apply area formula

The area formula for a parallelogram (a rhombus is a type of parallelogram) is $A = b\times h$. Substitute $b = 14$ and $h = 9$ into the formula: $A=14\times9$.

Step3: Calculate the area

$14\times9 = 126$ square - units.

Answer:

C. 126 square units
