Question

applying the area of a rhombus formula
juan is making a model out of rhombi. each rhombus
will be connected to the one before it. each rhombus
will be 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide.
how much paper does he need for each rhombus?
square inches
wall is 11 feet long, how much paper does he
square inches

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the area formula for a rhombus

The area formula for a rhombus is \(A=\frac{1}{2}d_1d_2\), where \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) are the lengths of the diagonals.

Step2: Identify the diagonals

Given that the rhombus is \(6\) inches tall (one diagonal \(d_1 = 6\) inches) and \(4\) inches wide (another diagonal \(d_2=4\) inches).

Step3: Substitute into the formula

Substitute \(d_1 = 6\) and \(d_2 = 4\) into the formula \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times6\times4\).
First, calculate \(6\times4 = 24\). Then, \(\frac{1}{2}\times24=12\).

Answer:

\(12\) square inches
