Solution

Each side of the rhombus =18 cm

$∴$ base of the rhombus =18 cm

Distance between two parallel sides =12 cm

$∴$ Hight =12 cm

$∴$ Area of the rhombus =base $\times$ height $= 18 \times 12 = 216 c m^{2}$

Each side of a rhombus is 18 cm. If the distance between two parallel sides is 12 cm, find its area.

Each side of the rhombus =18 cm ∴ base of the rhombus =18 cm Distance between two parallel sides =12 cm ∴ Hight =12 cm ∴ Area of the rhombus =base × height =18×12=216cm2
