Question

if x = 7 units and h = 5 units, then what is the area of the rhombus pictured above? a = b · h
a. 14 square units
b. 35 square units
c. 28 square units

Explanation:

Step1: Identify base and height

The base $b$ of the rhombus is $x = 7$ units and the height $h=5$ units.

Step2: Apply area formula

The area formula of a parallelogram (and a rhombus is a type of parallelogram) is $A = b\times h$. Substitute $b = 7$ and $h = 5$ into the formula: $A=7\times5$.

Step3: Calculate the area

$A = 35$ square units.

Answer:

B. 35 square units
