Question

The side of a rhombus is 7.2cm and it's altitude is 5cm. find its area

Answer 1

area =base *height
=7.2*5
=36cm²

Answer 2

Answer: 36 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The side of the rhombus = 7.2 cm

The altitude of the rhombus = 5 cm

We know that the rhombus is also a parallelogram, thus the area of rhombus is given by:-

$Area=base\times altitude\\\Rightarrow\ Area=7.2\times5\\\Rightarrow\ Area=36.0\ cm^2$

Hence, the area of the rhombus = 36 square cm
