In Rhombus ABCD Below AE 6 Cm And BE 7 CmFind The Area Of The RhombusBe Sure To Include The Correct Unit In Your Answer class=

Answer :

Solution:

Given the rhombus;

[tex]AE=6cm,BE=7cm[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} AC\text{ and }BD\text{ are diagonals of the rhombus. Thus;} \\ \\ AC=2(AE)=2(6cm)=12cm \\ \\ BD=2(BE)=2(7cm)=14cm \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then, the area, A, of a rhombus is;

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{|AC||BD|}{2}cm^2 \\ \\ A=\frac{12\times14}{2}cm^2 \\ \\ A=84cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

ANSWER:

[tex]Area=84cm^2[/tex]
