Question

What is the area of the given rhombus?

• A. 144 sq inches
• B. 36 sq inches
• C. 72 sq inches
• D. 48 sq inches

Answer 1

The correct option is C 72 sq inches

$\text{Area of a rhombus = Area of a parallelogram}$
$\text{⇒ Area of a rhombus = Base}\times \text{Height}$


Base of the rhombus = 12 inch
And, height of the rhombus = 6 inch

So, the area of the rhombus will be:
= Base × Height
= 12 × 6 sq inches
= 72 sq inches
