question 1 of 25
what is the area of the rhombus shown below?
diagram with vertices d, c, b, a; ac=17, bd=15, ab=11.2
a. 190.4 square units
b. 127.5 square units
c. 16 square units
d. 255 square units

Explanation:

Answer:

B. 127.5 square units

(The area of a rhombus is given by the formula \( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 \), where \( d_1 \) and \( d_2 \) are the lengths of the diagonals. Here, \( d_1 = 17 \) and \( d_2 = 15 \), so \( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 17 \times 15 = 127.5 \) square units.)
